Differences of size and shape of active and inactive X-chromosome domains in human amniotic fluid cell nuclei [PDF]

, 1993
It is a widely held belief that the inactive X-chromosome (Xi) in female cell nuclei is strongly condensed as compared to the largely decondensed active X-chromosome (Xa).

Preterm labor is characterized by a high abundance of amniotic fluid prostaglandins in patients with intra-amniotic infection or sterile intra-amniotic inflammation

Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2019
Objective To distinguish between prostaglandin and prostamide concentrations in the amniotic fluid of women who had an episode of preterm labor with intact membranes through the utilisation of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Development and Validation of a Rodent Model of Amniotic Fluid Exchange: A Prospective Laboratory-Based Study

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background: Significant interplay exists between the amniotic fluid and the developing fetus. However the true nature of the relationship between the amniotic fluid and the fetus, as well as the fetal membranes, is very poorly understood due to the lack ...

Dose-Dependent Enhancement of Morphine-Induced Analgesia\ud by Ingestion of Amniotic Fluid and Placenta [PDF]

, 1988
Ingestion of amniotic fluid and placenta by rats has been shown to enhance opioid-mediated analgesia. The present studies were designed to examine the effect of several doses and volumes of placenta and amniotic fluid on tail-flick latency in rats ...

Structural Motifs in Soft Fibrous Tissues: Revealing Structure‐Mechanics Relationships in Deformation and Tear Resistance for Biomimetic Material Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how soft fibrous tissues achieve their remarkable mechanical behavior through recurring structural motifs across multiple length scales. It highlights key advances in mimicking these features using fiber‐reinforced hydrogels and hierarchical composites, offering insights into mechanical compatibility, flaw tolerance, and tear ...

Ingested bovine amniotic fluid enhances morphine antinociception in rats [PDF]

, 2000
Ingestion by rats of rat placenta or amniotic fluid enhances opioid-mediated, or partly opioid-mediated, antinociception produced by morphine injection, vaginal or cervical stimulation, late pregnancy, and foot shock.

Amniotic fluid embolism

International Journal of Critical Illness and Injury Science, 2013
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an unpredictable and as-of-yet unpreventable complication of maternity. With its low incidence it is unlikely that any given practitioner will be confronted with a case of AFE. However, this rare occurrence carries a high probability of serious sequelae including cardiac arrest, ARDS, coagulopathy with massive ...

Human β‐defensin‐1: A natural antimicrobial peptide present in amniotic fluid that is increased in spontaneous preterm labor with intra‐amniotic infection

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2018
Human β‐defensins (HBDs) are antimicrobial peptides that participate in the soluble innate immune mechanisms against infection. Herein, we determined whether HBD‐1 was present in amniotic fluid during normal pregnancy and whether its concentrations ...

At the Pointy End of Mechanobiology: AFM for Transient Biomechanical Analysis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Stem cell mechanosensitivity governs lineage commitment through mechanotransduction, but capturing these transient changes in living cells remains challenging. Advanced atomic force microscopy enables high‐resolution analysis of mechanical properties, real‐time protein distribution, and gene expression, offering fresh insights into cell‐environment ...
