Capparis decidua Edgew (Forssk.) Stem Extract Alleviates the Water Stress Perturbations in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at Early Growth Stage

Journal of Bioresource Management, 2020
Water shortage is one of the major limiting factors of crop productivity worldwide. This study was planned to explore the impact of Capparis decidua stem extract on wheat varieties (FSD-2008, 12066 and 13348) under water stress condition.

Decidua-Associated Antigens in the Baboon [PDF]

Biology of Reproduction, 1981
Proteins associated with the uterine decidua (DE) may control critical events in pregnancy. This study was undertaken, therefore, to study DE-associated antigens in the baboon. Three antigens, designated 1, 2, and 3, were detected in the cytosols of all 17 specimens of the baboon DE by Ouchterlony’s immunodiffusion test (ID), using an antiserum against

Trophoblast lineage-specific differentiation and associated alterations in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. [PDF]

, 2020
The human placenta is a poorly-understood organ, but one that is critical for proper development and growth of the fetus in-utero. The epithelial cell type that contributes to primary placental functions is called "trophoblast," including two main ...

Risk factors and risk‐indicating model for early‐onset neonatal sepsis after preterm prelabor rupture of membranes: A historical cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Maternal diabetes, fever, positive urinary or vaginal/cervical culture, fetal tachycardia, and decreasing short‐term variation were associated with increased risk for early‐onset neonatal sepsis in a PPROM population. A model combining these risk factors performed better at indicating early‐onset neonatal sepsis risk than the clinicians' suspicion of ...

On the anatomy and physiology of the decidua [PDF]

Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London
In this paper, the author describes some appearances which he has observed in the structure of the human decidua, and which apparently prove that the circulation of the maternal blood in the ovum is carried on during the early months of gestation, chiefly by the different layers of this membrane, and the cells of the chorion.

Placenta-specific methylation of the vitamin D 24-hydroxylase gene: implications for feedback autoregulation of active vitamin D levels at the fetomaternal interface [PDF]

, 2009
Plasma concentrations of biologically active vitamin D (1,25- (OH)2D) are tightly controlled via feedback regulation of renal 1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1; positive) and 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1; catabolic) enzymes.

Decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 in the maternal umbilical serum, trophoblasts and decidua leads to preeclampsia

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2015
The aim of the present study was to explore the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the maternal umbilical serum, placenta and decidua of patients with preeclampsia compared with those in ...

Dual Role of Natural Killer Cells in Early Pregnancy: Immunopathological Implications and Therapeutic Potential in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion and Recurrent Implantation Failure

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This article elaborates on the role of NK cells in early pregnancy from multiple perspectives, including molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions. It also discusses how NK cell dysfunction contributes to RSA and RIF, aiming to provide insights for future research on NK cell mechanisms and clinical treatment of RSA and RIF.

Elevated levels of exogenous prolactin promote inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface via the JAK2/STAT5B signaling axis

Frontiers in Immunology
The placenta is a unique organ with various immunological and endocrinological roles that modulate maternal and fetal physiology to promote maternal-fetal tolerance, pregnancy maintenance, and parturition at term. During pregnancy, the hormone prolactin (

A lesson for cancer research : placental microarray gene analysis in preeclampsia [PDF]

, 2012
Tumor progression and pregnancy share many common features, such as immune tolerance and invasion. The invasion of trophoblasts in the placenta into the uterine wall is essential for fetal development, and is thus precisely regulated.
