title: The role of neurokinin B in pre-eclampsia.
abstract: Pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening disease unique to pregnancy, has been called a disease of theories. To date, there has been no widely accepted predictive test or therapeutic intervention to prevent or delay pre-eclampsia. The discovery of a new placental hormone, neurokinin B, may finally help to answer some of the past mysteries.
