VIM and fetal growth restriction: According to the literature data, studies on the expression of vimentin in the IUGR placental bed are absent, but the expression of vimentin in the preeclamptic placentas remains controversial: an increased expression of vimentin in the intravillous area was observed in the placentas of preeclamptic patients with HELLP [38], in contrast to decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of vimentin in the placental tissues of patients with preeclampsia, as shown by Du et al. [39].
