Expression of Antiangiogenic Prolactin Fragments in the Placentas of Women with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension [PDF]

, 2010
It has been reported that prolactin (PRL) is cleaved to 14 or 16 kDa fragments by cathepsin D in vitro and in vivo, and that such fragments exhibit antiangiogenic and proapoptotic properties.

Structural and Functional Imaging of Motor Outcomes in Twins With Perinatal Stroke: A Case Report

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) affects 1 in 4000 live births. Dystonia, affecting ~20% of children following AIS, is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal movements. Why some develop dystonia post AIS, while others do not, remains unclear.

Nail bed expansion: A new technique for correction of multiple isolated congenital micronychia

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2014
Congenital micronychia may involve big toes or may involve other nails. The etiology of micronychia is not clear but amniotic bands, teratogens (drugs, alcohol), Nail Patella Syndrome etc. A 44-year-old woman with multiple isolated congenital micronychia

Pregnancy Outcomes and Postnatal Health From Transferred Mosaic Embryos Following Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This illustration synthesizes the methods and conclusion of this study, demonstrating that the transfer of mosaic embryos following reimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy does not increase the risk to postnatal health. ABSTRACT Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has increased the detection of mosaic embryos during preimplantation genetic testing ...

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...
