Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Clinical interventions that increase the uptake and success of vaginal birth after caesarean section: A systematic review [PDF]

, 2011
Aim. The aim of this study was to review clinical interventions that increase the uptake and/or the success rates of vaginal birth after caesarean section. Background. Repeat caesarean section is the main reason for the increase in surgical births.

Factors associated with insufficient cervical ripening in a controlled-release dinoprostone vaginal delivery system: A single perinatal center retrospective study

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the factors associated with insufficient cervical ripening in a controlled-release dinoprostone vaginal delivery system (Propess). Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 103 pregnant

Inflammatory Changes and Composition of Collagen during Cervical Ripening in Cows

Animals, 2022
Dystocia and stillbirths in cows pose a high risk of loss of both dams and fetuses, thereby resulting in high economic losses. One of the causes of these problems is birth canal abnormalities.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Clinical Insights for Cervical Ripening and Labor Induction Using Prostaglandins

American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2018
Cervical ripening is often the first component of labor induction and is used to facilitate the softening and thinning of the cervix in preparation for labor.

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Efficacy and Efficiency in Natural Family Planning Services [PDF]

, 2009
Relatively few Catholic couples in the United States use modern methods of natural family planning (NFP). So too, few Catholic physicians and health professionals prescribe the use of NFP methods for their patients.

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

In vivo characterization of connective tissue remodeling using infrared photoacoustic spectra [PDF]

, 2018
Premature cervical remodeling is a critical precursor of spontaneous preterm birth, and the remodeling process is characterized by an increase in tissue hydration.
