Abnormal placentation is associated with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) risk. Here the authors report that low embryonic villous succinate level associates with risk of RSA in patients, and increasing succinate levels is sufficient to reduce the incidence rate in a mouse model of spontaneous abortion.
