Abstract: Gene Expression Differed in Newborn Infants After Caesarean and Vaginal BirthsA study by Carpén et al. [1] found significant differences in gene expression when they compared newborn infants after Caesarean and vaginal births.They report that 95 genes were significantly upregulated in the infants in the vaginal group, compared with those in the Caesarean group, including those related to immune and stress responses.Lagercrantz discusses whether the benefits of vaginal births are being lost due to rising Caesarean deliveries [2].
