Type of stem cell deficiency is common among women who lose pregnancies, and sitagliptin may help
A common diabetes drug may be able to help women who have repeated miscarriages, researchers have found, after they identified that a certain type of stem cell deficiency is common among women who lose pregnancies.
A study for the Tommy’s National Miscarriage Research Centre in London discovered that the diabetes drug sitagliptin can boost recruitment of these cells to the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, in women who have experienced repeated miscarriages.
