Disrupted PGR-B and ESR1 signaling underlies defective decidualization linked to severe preeclampsia

eLife, 2021
Background: Decidualization of the uterine mucosa drives the maternal adaptation to invasion by the placenta. Appropriate depth of placental invasion is needed to support a healthy pregnancy; shallow invasion is associated with the development of severe ...

Stereological analysis of the New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) placenta [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
The onset of gestation is characterized by growth, morphological and functional changes of the placenta. We aim to evaluate the placental compartments in New Zealand rabbits by means of stereological methods.

A case of successful pregnancy in a septate uterus after discharge of decidual tissue in the second trimester

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
In pregnant patients with a divided uterine cavity, the decidual tissue on the nonpregnant side may be discharged prior to the delivery of the fetus. The pregnancy can continue if the uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding are controlled and the fetus

Multiomics Studies Investigating Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: An Effective Tool for Mechanism Exploration

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) account for approximately 1%-5% of women aiming to achieve childbirth. Although studies have shown that RPL is associated with failure of endometrial decidualization, placental dysfunction, and immune ...

Expression of the Costimulatory Molecule B7-H4 in the Decidua and Placental Tissues in Patients with Placental Abruption

Biomedicines, 2022
B7 homolog 4 protein (B7-H4), a member of the B7 family, is a immunomodulatory membrane protein. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of this protein in the decidua and placental tissues in case of placental abruption (PA) compared to ...

Disruption of Folate Metabolism Causes Poor Alignment and Spacing of Mouse Conceptuses for Multiple Generations

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Abnormal uptake or metabolism of folate increases risk of human pregnancy complications, though the mechanism is unclear. Here, we explore how defective folate metabolism influences early development by analysing mice with the hypomorphic Mtrrgt mutation.

Characterization of human decidual mast cells and establishment of a culture system

Allergology International, 2018
Background: Although rodent decidual mast cells (MCs) reportedly play an important role in implantation and placenta formation, the characterization of human decidual MCs has been not well clarified.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD20 in Decidual and Trophoblastic Tissue Specimens of Patients with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Clinics and Practice, 2022
Recurrent miscarriages affect up to 5% of couples. CD3+ (T-lymphocytes), CD4+ (helper T-lymphocytes), CD8+ (cytotoxic T-lymphocytes), and CD20+ (B-lymphocytes) cells may participate in the pathophysiology of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).
