A Combination of Two Human Monoclonal Antibodies Limits Fetal Damage by Zika Virus in Macaques [PDF]

, 2020
Human infection by Zika virus (ZIKV) during pregnancy can lead to vertical transmission and fetal aberrations, including microcephaly. Prophylactic administration of antibodies can diminish or prevent ZIKV infection in animal models, but whether passive ...

Embryonic cerebrospinal fluid pressure in fetal mice in utero: External factors pressurize the intraventricular space

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Previous experiments inducing leakage of embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggest the necessity of intraventricular CSF pressure (PCSF) for brain morphogenesis. Nevertheless, how embryonic PCSF occurs is unclear, especially in utero. Results Using a Landis water manometer, we measured PCSF in fetal mice isolated from the amniotic

ADAMTS4 is a crucial proteolytic enzyme for versican cleavage in the amnion at parturition

Communications Biology
Hyalectan cleavage may play an important role in extracellular matrix remodeling. However, the proteolytic enzyme responsible for hyalectan degradation for fetal membrane rupture at parturition remains unknown. Here, we reveal that versican (VCAN) is the

Oncopeltus fasciatus zen is essential for serosal tissue function in katatrepsis [PDF]

, 2006
Unlike most Hox cluster genes, with their canonical role in anterior–posterior patterning of the embryo, the Hox3 orthologue of insects has diverged. Here, we investigate the zen orthologue in Oncopeltus fasciatus (Hemiptera:Heteroptera).

Effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS)-pretreated human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hAD-MSC) transplantation on primary ovarian insufficiency in rats

Stem cell research & therapeutics, 2017
Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs) have the features of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can promote the expression of various growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules that are necessary to ...

Exploring the Potential of Tsuruazuki Bean as a Functional Food to Curb Obesity Using Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells and 3T3‐L1 Preadipocytes

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Obesity is a global health problem that requires research and regulatory attention. This research aims to investigate transcriptome‐wide changes induced by Vigna umbellata (Tsuruazuki) using a stem cell‐based tool and preadipocytes to explore its untapped potential as a functional food for anti‐obesity applications.

Human Amnion Membrane: Potential Applications in Oral and Periodontal Field

Journal of International Society of Preventive and Community Dentistry, 2017
Human amniotic membrane (HAM) is derived from the fetal membranes which consist of the inner amniotic membrane made of single layer of amnion cells fixed to collagen-rich mesenchyme attached to chorion.

Research status of fetal hydrocephalus from 2003 to 2022 based on bibliometric analysis

Ibrain, EarlyView.
In this study, we extracted 613 articles related to hydrocephalus from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database published from January 01, 2003 to December 31, 2022, and 613 articles were obtained after weight reduction using CiteSpace. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to extract and visualize the elements of the article, including

Effects on the maternofetal unit of the rabbit model after substitution of the amniotic fluid with perfluorocarbons [PDF]

, 2005
Objectives: Exchanging amniotic fluid (AF) with perfluorocarbon (PFC) may serve as a medium for fetoscopic surgery. This study evaluates the distribution and physiologic effects of intraamniotic PFC as a medium for fetoscopy.
