@konah619: A mother may never truly leave you 💛 Scientists have found that a few of her cells can stay inside her child for decades. This is called microchimerism. During pregnancy, cells cross the placenta and settle in the baby. A study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation found maternal cells in people up to age 49. Immunologist Lee Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center has studied this link for years. 🔬 These cells may help repair tissue in some cases and may influence immune health in others. The full picture is still being studied. Yet it shows how deeply a mother is written into us 🤍 Some bonds are truly part of us. 📌 Sources: Journal of Clinical Investigation, “Microchimerism of maternal origin persists into adult life”,Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, research profile of Dr. J.
