miR-143 regulation of prostaglandin-endoperoxidase synthase 2 in the amnion: implications for human parturition at term. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The human amnion plays a pivotal role in parturition. Two of its compartments, the placental amnion and the reflected amnion, have distinct transcriptome and are functionally coordinated for parturition. This study was conducted to determine the microRNA

The Influence of the Preservation Method and Gamma Irradiation Sterilization on TGF-β and bFGF Levels in Freeze-Dried Amnion Membrane (FD-AM) and Amnion Sponge

International Journal of Biomaterials, 2021
Background. Amnion grafts can be preserved as freeze-dried amnion membrane (FD-AM) and amnion sponge. Preserved grafts require to be sterilized by gamma irradiation. However, each step of the process could affect its biological properties. Even so, there

The Bradykinin System Contributes to the Regulation of Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 Expression in Human Amnion Fibroblasts: Implications for Term and Preterm Birth

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
BackgroundBradykinin (BK) and its biologically active metabolite des-Arg9 bradykinin (DABK) play a pivotal role in inflammation. Since chorioamnionitis is the leading cause of preterm birth and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) derived from the amnion is key to ...

Nuclear factor kappa B activation occurs in the amnion prior to labour onset and modulates the expression of numerous labour associated genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Prior to the onset of human labour there is an increase in the synthesis of prostaglandins, cytokines and chemokines in the fetal membranes, particular the amnion.

Electrospun Polycaprolactone (PCL)-Amnion Nanofibrous Membrane Promotes Nerve Regeneration and Prevents Fibrosis in a Rat Sciatic Nerve Transection Model

Frontiers in Surgery, 2022
Functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury repair is typically unsatisfactory. An anastomotically poor microenvironment and scarring at the repair site are important factors impeding nerve regeneration.

Single cell transcriptomic analysis of human amnion identifies cell-specific signatures associated with membrane rupture and parturition

Cell & Bioscience, 2022
Background The human amnion is an intrauterine tissue which is involved in the initiation of parturition. In-depth understanding of gene expression signatures of individual cell types in the amnion with respect to membrane rupture at parturition may help
