IL-33/ST2 axis of human amnion fibroblasts participates in inflammatory reactions at parturition
Molecular Medicine, 2023 Background Inflammation of the fetal membranes is an indispensable event of labor onset at both term and preterm birth. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is known to participate in inflammation via ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity 2) receptor as an inflammatory ...

The endogenous production of hydrogen sulphide in intrauterine tissues [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Hydrogen sulphide is a gas signalling molecule which is produced endogenously from L-cysteine via the enzymes cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE).

Amnion Epithelial Cell‐Derived Exosomes Restrict Lung Injury and Enhance Endogenous Lung Repair
Stem Cells Translational Medicine, 2018 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by chronic inflammation, severe scarring, and stem cell senescence. Stem cell‐based therapies modulate inflammatory and fibrogenic pathways by release of soluble factors.

Healing Mechanism of Ruptured Fetal Membrane
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) typically leads to spontaneous preterm birth within several days. In a few rare cases, however, amniotic fluid leakage ceases, amniotic fluid volume is restored, and pregnancy continues until term.

N-glycans of human amniotic fluid transferrin stimulate progesterone production in human first trimester trophoblast cells in vitro [PDF]
, 2004 Aims: During pregnancy, the placenta produces a variety of steroid hormones and proteins. Several of these substances have been shown to exert immunomodulatory effects.
