The Transitional Heart: From Early Embryonic and Fetal Development to Neonatal Life. [PDF]
Formation of the human heart involves complex biological signals, interactions, specification of myocardial progenitor cells, and heart tube looping. To facilitate survival in the hypoxemic intrauterine environment, the fetus possesses structural, physiological, and functional cardiovascular adaptations that are fundamentally different from the neonate.

Crosstalk between Maternal Life and Fetal Epigenome; A Review Article [PDF]
Background: It is important to say that maternal lifestyle during gestation could affect embryonic development and health consequences. Objectives: Many endogenous and exogenous factors affect the epigenetics of the germ cells during their division and ...

Fetal autonomic malfunction as a marker of fetal distress in growth-restricted fetuses: three case reports [PDF]
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is characterized by fetal compromise and delayed neurological maturation. We report 3 cases of early FGR in the 26th week of gestation, based on hemodynamic Doppler monitoring, conventional cardiotocography, and non ...

LPS Administration during Fertilization Affects Epigenetic Inheritance during Embryonic Development
Intrauterine inflammation can cause infertility by disrupting reproductive function. The pathogenesis underlying this process may primarily involve endotoxins from lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are produced by Gram-negative bacteria. However, the long-

Numerical areal density of CD34 and CD117 immunoreactive hematopoietic cells in human fetal and embryonic liver [PDF]
Introduction. Hematopoiesis is the process of developing blood cells and the formed elements of blood. This dynamic process occurs postnatally in the bone marrow, while the prenatal hematopoiesis is scattered over multiple localizations.

Perturbation of the hematopoietic system during embryonic liver development due to disruption of polyubiquitin gene Ubc in mice. [PDF]
Disruption of the polyubiquitin gene Ubc leads to a defect in fetal liver development, which can be partially rescued by increasing the amount of ubiquitin.

Embryonic ethanol exposure on zebrafish early development
Introduction Embryonic exposure to ethanol leads to a condition of physical, behavioral, and cognitive deficiencies named fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The most severe variations are in fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), which is easier to diagnose
