Targeting Decidual CD16+ Immune Cells with Exosome‐Based Glucocorticoid Nanoparticles for Miscarriage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Exosome‐based nanoparticles (GC‐Exo‐CD16Ab) are designed to deliver glucocorticoids (GC) specifically to decidual CD16+ NK cells and macrophages. This targeted delivery effectively suppresses the cytotoxicity of decidual NK cells, inhibits M1 macrophage polarization, and modulates the decidual microenvironment.

Histopathology of Third Trimester Placenta from SARS-CoV-2-Positive Women [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Background: This study aims to investigate whether maternal SARS-CoV-2 status affect placental pathology. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted by reviewing charts and slides of placentas between April 1 to July 24, 2020. Clinical history of COVID-19 were searched in Pathology Database (CoPath). Controls were matched with SARS-CoV-2-

From Invaginating Site to Deep Lesion: Spatial Transcriptomics Unravels Ectopic Endometrial Penetration Features in Adenomyosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work utilizes spatial transcriptomics to map the transcriptional landscape of adenomyosis with obvious invagination structure from the invaginating site to deep lesions. By integrating with single‐cell RNA sequencing, this study elucidates the molecular features of invagination, invasion, and fibrosis, and finds the major participants and vital ...

Optimizing Drone Delivery in Smart Cities [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We propose a novel context-aware drone delivery framework for optimizing package delivery through skyway networks in smart cities. We reformulate the problem of finding an optimal drone service delivery pathway as a more congruent and elegant drone delivery service composition problem.

A computer-based simulation of vacuum extraction during childbirth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Vacuum extraction is an instrumental method used in obstetrics when childbirth labour fails to progress. The instrument used during vacuum extraction is the ventouse. It comprises of a suction cup attached to the fetal scalp through a vacuum, and a chord

Obstetric violence: a Latin American legal response to mistreatment during childbirth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Over the last several years, a new legal construct has emerged in Latin America that encompasses elements of quality of obstetric care and mistreatment of women during childbirth - both issues of global maternal health import. Termed "obstetric violence,"

Nuclear Translocation of S100A9 Triggers Senescence of Human Amnion Fibroblasts by De‐Repressing LINE1 Via Heterochromatin Erosion at Parturition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that the classical secretory protein S100 calcium‐binding protein A9 (S100A9) can translocate to the nucleus upon de‐phosphorylation at Thr 113 in human amnion fibroblasts at parturition, where S100A9 induces heterochromatin erosion through segregation of the heterochromatin maintenance protein, resulting inLong Interspersed Nuclear ...

Automatic Probe Movement Guidance for Freehand Obstetric Ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
We present the first system that provides real-time probe movement guidance for acquiring standard planes in routine freehand obstetric ultrasound scanning. Such a system can contribute to the worldwide deployment of obstetric ultrasound scanning by lowering the required level of operator expertise.

SMC4 Promotes Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis via the Rheb/mTOR Pathway

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Structural maintenance of chromosome protein 4 (SMC4) has been implicated in prostate cancer metastasis. Knockdown of SMC4 in RM1‐LM cells significantly attenuates proliferation, migration, and lung metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, SMC4 interacts with GLUT1 (Slc2a1), thereby enhancing glycolysis, ATP production, and activation of the Rheb/mTOR pathway.
