| Abstract: | The article focuses on the concept of fetal microchimerism, where fetal cells from pregnancies are retained by mothers for extended periods post-delivery, and the recent publication by Úbeda & Wild regarding the potential function of these cells. The commentary discusses the hypothesis that these microchimeric cells serve as indicators of kinship, affecting resource allocation to the fetus based on the mother's mating behavior and the genetic diversity of her microchiome. |
