Maternal infection in the context of actively managed prelabor rupture of membranes at term: An observational study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To assess maternal infection following prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) at term in a setting where active management is recommended, and to identify associated risk factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted including pregnant women admitted to a Portuguese tertiary care center where immediate induction of labor ...

Single cell transcriptional signatures of the human placenta in term and preterm parturition

eLife, 2019
More than 135 million births occur each year; yet, the molecular underpinnings of human parturition in gestational tissues, and in particular the placenta, are still poorly understood. The placenta is a complex heterogeneous organ including cells of both

Periodontitis during pregnancy: The effect on the gut microbiome and intestinal inflammation

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis has been epidemiologically associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but causality remains difficult to establish in humans due to confounding factors. This study uses a controlled murine model to examine the effects of experimentally induced periodontitis on the composition of the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal

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 (

HLA-G in human early pregnancy: Control of uterine immune cell activation and likely

Biomedical Journal, 2015
Despite a number of controversies, the functional importance of human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) in early human pregnancy is now sustained by a large amount of sound data.

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Expression of plasma prekallikrein mRNA in human nonhepatic tissues and cell lineages suggests special local functions of the enzyme [PDF]

, 1999
At present it is generally accepted that plasma prekallikrein (PPK) is synthesized in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream. Surprisingly, it has recently been shown that PPK mRNA is present also in RNA from the kidney, adrenal gland and placenta ...

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Decidual-Placental Immune Landscape During Syngeneic Murine Pregnancy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Adaptive immune system, principally governed by the T cells—dendritic cells (DCs) nexus, is an essential mediator of gestational fetal tolerance and protection against infection.

Interleukin-15 deficient rats have reduced osteopontin at the maternal-fetal interface

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: Uterine Natural Killer (NK) cells are the predominant immune cells within the decidua during early pregnancy. These cells are thought to regulate aspects of decidualization and placental development, but their functions remain poorly ...
