Seahorses and other Syngnathidae species have a very peculiar feature: male pregnancy. Among different species, there is a gradation of paternal involvement in carrying for the offspring, from a simple attachment of the eggs to the skin surface, through various degrees of egg coverage by skin flaps, to the internal pregnancy within a brood pouch, which resembles mammalian uterus with the placenta. Because of the gradation of parental involvement and similarities to mammalian pregnancy, seahorses are a great model to study the evolution of pregnancy and the immunologic, metabolic, cellular, and molecular processes of pregnancy and embryo development. Seahorses are also very useful for studying the effects of pollutants and environmental changes on pregnancy, embryo development, and offspring fitness. We describe here the characteristics of seahorse male pregnancy, its regulatory mechanisms, the development of immune tolerance of the parent toward the allogeneic embryos, and the effects of environmental pollutants on pregnancy and embryo development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24119712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]],"date-time":"2023-06-05T04:01:47Z","timestamp":1685937707000},"page":"9712","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Seahorse Male Pregnancy as a Model System to Study Pregnancy, Immune Adaptations, and Environmental Effects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5192-8584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malgorzata","family":"Kloc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Houston Methodist Research Institute, Transplant Immunology, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"MD Anderson Cancer Center, Department of Genetics, The University of Texas, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1603","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1095-8649.2011.02988.x","article-title":"The evolutionary origins of Syngnathidae: Pipefishes and seahorses","volume":"78","author":"Wilson","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
