Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid–Induced Toxicity on Zebrafish Embryos in the Presence or Absence of the Chorion

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2020
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is a perfluorinated compound used in many industrial and consumer products. It has been linked to a broad range of adverse effects in several species, including zebrafish (Danio rerio). The zebrafish embryo is a widely

The biomechanics of amnion rupture: an X-ray diffraction study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Pre-term birth is the leading cause of perinatal and neonatal mortality, 40% of which are attributed to the pre-term premature rupture of amnion. Rupture of amnion is thought to be associated with a corresponding decrease in the extracellular collagen ...

Transgenic expression in zebrafish embryos with an intact chorion by electroporation and microinjection

open access: yesBiotechnology Reports, 2023
Electroporation is regularly used to deliver agents into cells, including transgenic materials, but it is not used for mutating zebrafish embryos due to the lack of suitable systems, information on appropriate operating parameters, and the challenges ...

Chorion in fish: Synthesis, functions and factors associated with its malformations

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2023
The chorion is an acellular envelope surrounding the oocyte. In fish, this envelope plays a pivotal role during fertilization and protects the developing embryo against environmental and mechanical factors until the moment of hatching.

Chorionic gonadotropin [PDF]

open access: yesCancer, 1976
One of the most exciting and useful developments in modern oncology has been the recognition that certain biochemical tags can be used as cell markers in diagnosis, in monitoring the effects of anti-tumor therapy, and in follow-up to detect tumor recurrence. The measurement of chorionic gonadotropin (CG) in women with choriocarcinoma and/or gestational

The Role of Progesterone and a Novel Progesterone Receptor, Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1, in the Inflammatory Response of Fetal Membranes to Ureaplasma parvum Infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Ureaplasma parvum (U. parvum) is gaining recognition as an important pathogen for chorioamnionitis and preterm premature rupture of membranes. We aimed to investigate the roles of progesterone (P4) and a novel progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor
