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

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

Electrical Impedance of Isolated Amnion
The electrical impedance of the guinea pig amniotic membrane was measured, under standardized conditions, over the frequency range of 20 to 7000 cycles/second. This impedance can be represented analytically by a simple frequency-dependent function which is precisely of the form of the Debye relaxation equation.

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Functionally graded membrane: A novel approach in the treatment of gingival recession defects
Background: Guided tissue regeneration has recently been advocated in re-constructing soft-tissue dimensions in recession defects. Advancement in nanotechnology has led to increased zest for approaches such as electrospinning of biologically active ...

FAKTOR-FAKTOR RISIKO TERJADINYA ASFIKSIA NEONATORUM DI RSD JOMBANG PERIODE 1 JANUARI - 31 DESEMBER 2007 [PDF]
Neonatal Asphyxia is an emergency condition when the baby failed to breath spontaneously and regularly after they were born. Neonatal asphyxia remains the main cause of neonatal mortality as well as permanent neurological abnormality.
