Phosphatidic acid induces cytoskeletal rearrangements through the Src‐FAK‐RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway during decidualization

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Decidualization is the process by which human endometrial stromal cells undergo morphological and functional changes to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation and support pregnancy. Our study identifies the phosphatidic acid‐Src‐FAK‐RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway as a critical regulator of the cytoskeletal alterations required for this transformation.

Fetal-derived trophoblast use the apoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to induce smooth muscle cell death. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during pregnancy transforms them from high to low resistance vessels that lack vasoconstrictive properties. This process is essential to meet the demand for increased blood flow imposed by the growing fetus. Loss

Ski‐pistes can compensate for the climate change‐driven loss of bird communities of avalanche tracks in the Alps

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 3, Page 679-694, July 2025.
As a consequence of both climate and land‐use change, open alpine habitats are shrinking. Snow avalanches are a natural disturbance that create habitat mosaics which host unique bird communities, but their frequency and severity will probably be influenced by climate change.

Examining the association between placental malperfusion assessed by histopathological examination and child and adolescent neurodevelopment: a systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Placental malperfusion, categorised into maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) and foetal vascular malperfusion (FVM), is a main placental pathology known to affect placental functioning and offspring outcomes. The aim of this review is to evaluate the association between exposure to placental malperfusion and offspring neurodevelopment from ...

Retrospective Analysis of Wood Anatomical Traits Reveals a Recent Extension in Tree Cambial Activity in Two High-Elevation Conifers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The study of xylogenesis or wood formation is a powerful, yet labor intensive monitoring approach to investigate intra-annual tree growth responses to environmental factors.

Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...

Endometrial imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The endometrium demonstrates a wide spectrum of normal and pathologic appearances throughout menarche as well as during the prepubertal and postmenopausal years and the first trimester of pregnancy. Characteristic morphologic changes take place in

Comparison of LPS-stimulated release of cytokines in punch versus transwell tissue culture systems of human gestational membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Cytokine signaling within the amnionic, chorionic and decidual extraplacental gestational membranes plays an important role in membrane rupture and the timing of birth.

Functional traits explain growth response to successive hotter droughts across a wide set of common and future tree species in Europe

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Functional traits can explain significant tree growth reductions in response to the 2018–2020 drought for a wide set of 71 species including angiosperms and gymnosperms. Moreover, four distinct response types emerged: ‘Sufferer’, ‘Late sufferer’, ‘Recoverer’ and ‘Resister’, with gymnosperms predominately appearing as ‘Sufferer’ and ‘Late sufferer ...
