Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Amniocentesis before 14 completed weeks as an alternative to transabdominal chorionic villus sampling: A controlled trial with infant follow-up

, 1998
A (semi-) randomized controlled study with long-term follow-up was conducted to compare the effects of transabdominal chorionic villus sampling and early amniocentesis on fetal mortality and child morbidity.

Shaping Future Children, Sex Selection, and “Normal” Human Capacities

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT If we think that parents have an obligation to have a healthy child then we need to know what counts as healthy, when male and female children are born with very different capacities. If we give up on the idea that our obligations to use technologies of genetic selection are discharged once we try to secure the birth of a healthy child, as ...

Influence of socio-demographic characteristics on the utilisation of a chorionic villus sampling service in Nigeria

, 2006
Background: Chorionic Villus Sampling was introduced in Nigeria because of the large population affected by the sickle cell gene. Previous studies examined some selected sociodemographic characteristics of the clients.

High‐elevation adaptation and gestational hypoxia jointly shape vascular development in a rodent placenta

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

Human placental transfer of xenobiotics in health and disease: New approach methodologies for developmental and reproductive toxicology testing and mathematical modelling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend New approach methodologies (NAMs) to test the pharmaco‐ and chemicokinetics of compound transfer across the human placental barrier in late pregnancy. Abstract This review addresses an important and timely topic at the intersection of placental biology with respect to barrier transfer kinetics, toxicology and mathematical ...

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier
