Exploring stress and depressive symptoms in pregnancy and the IL-1β, IL-6, and C-reactive protein pathway: Looking for possible biomarker targets

These may be candidate biomarkers for mechanistic study possibly aiding providers in early detection of deleterious immunological processes which could result in adverse maternal-infant outcomes.
