Abstract
Background: Fetal nucleated red blood cells (fNRBCs) are cells of fetal origin and are present in maternal peripheral blood during pregnancy. fNRBCs have distinctive morphological features as they have a diameter of 9 to 13 µ m, an intact and dense nucleus and a low nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio. Researchers proposed the use of fNRBCs as a non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) alternative to invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. The full genome of the fetus is encapsulated within fNRBCs, enabling the detection of genetic variations. However, the primary challenge lies in the scarcity of the fNRBCs, and limited number of biomarkers that differ from the maternal cells. Objective: The study aims to use live cell imaging to identify fNRBC’s unique characteristics in the maternal blood during pregnancy. Methods: The samples from pregnant mothers at full term were collected in EDTA vacutainers from the obstetrics and gynecology clinics at KFUH. Informed consent was obtained from all participants.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
