Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]

, 2004
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

Uterine natural killer cells: supervisors of vasculature construction in early decidua basalis.

Reproduction, 2014
Mammalian pregnancy involves tremendous de novo maternal vascular construction to adequately support conceptus development. In early mouse decidua basalis (DB), maternal uterine natural killer (uNK) cells oversee this process directing various aspects ...

A multi‐centered prospective birth cohort study in Western China [PDF]

Imeta
The Western China Birth Cohort (WCBC) is a large‐scale, multi‐centered, prospective birth cohort study designed to address critical gaps in maternal and child health research in Western China, a region with diverse altitudes, ethnic groups, and unique environmental exposures. WCBC had enrolled 15,093 pregnant women across eight clinical centers in five

Viral-Immune Cell Interactions at the Maternal-Fetal Interface in Human Pregnancy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The human decidua and placenta form a distinct environment distinguished for its promotion of immunotolerance to infiltrating semiallogeneic trophoblast cells to enable successful pregnancy.

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]

, 1989
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

Uterine natural killer cells pace early development of mouse decidua basalis.

Molecular human reproduction, 2014
Pregnancy involves progressive relationship changes between conceptus-derived trophoblasts and maternal decidual vessels and leukocytes. Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells, the dominant leukocytes in early human and mouse decidua, have late gestational ...

An update on pacemaking in the myometrium

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The spread of multiple electrical signals (panel A, blue‐to‐red indicates increasing electrical excitability) that are spatiotemporally distinct, yet in‐phase with the excitatory episode, determines action potential shape and form (panel B, as recorded by single cell microelectrodes) and ensures contractile amplitude and duration

Genome-wide miRNA profiling of villus and decidua of recurrent spontaneous abortion patients.

Reproduction, 2014
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules of about 22 nucleotides that involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Evidence indicates that miRNAs play essential roles in endometriosis, pre-eclampsia, infertility and other reproductive system ...

ESM‐1 and GBP‐1 are associated with endothelial dysfunction: emerging biomarkers or key players in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Endothelial specific molecule‐1 (ESM‐1) and guanylate binding protein‐1 (GBP‐1) are proteins that are produced by activated/dysfunctional endothelial cells and are increased and decreased, respectively, during preeclampsia. It remains to be established whether ESM‐1 and GBP‐1 could potentially be included as biomarkers for the ...
