A primary cell‐based fluidic co‐culture model to investigate drug transport across the human placenta

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of a flow‐driven in vitro model of the human placental barrier designed to study transport processes during pregnancy. The model recreates key features of the maternal–fetal interface, enabling the investigation of how nutrients and therapeutic compounds cross the placental barrier under physiologically ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and transporter expression following maternal arbovirus infection

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Arboviruses induce virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and functional markers. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) exposure was associated with reduced syncytiotrophoblast and syncytial knot areas, increased cytotrophoblast proliferation (Ki‐67) and thyroid transporter (MCT8) expression, reduced protective (P‐gp and BCRP ...

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2265-2278, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Chronic Granulomatous Peritonitis From Recurrent Bilateral Ovarian Mature Cystic Teratomas Masquerade as Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Although rare, ruptured mature cystic teratoma (MCT) can cause chronic granulomatous peritonitis that mimics peritoneal carcinomatosis. In patients with a history of cystectomy for MCT, careful clinicoradiologic and histopathologic correlation is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary aggressive treatment.
