Inhibin and activin in embryonic and fetal development in ruminants [PDF]

Bioscientifica Proceedings, 2019
Inhibin, activin and follistatin are protein hormones with diverse physiological roles. The involvement of inhibin in the regulation of pituitary FSH production and secretion in adult males and non-pregnant females is well established. However, it is unlikely that inhibin plays a similar role in pregnancy in ruminants.

Embryonic and Early Fetal Development of the Human Neocortex [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2000
Early corticogenesis was studied in human embryos and early fetuses from Carnegie stages 16 to 22 (5–8 gestational weeks) by using immunohistochemistry for Reelin (Reln), calretinin (CR), and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). A first population of Reln-positive cells appears in the neocortical anlage at stage 16 and increases in number at stages 17–18.

Embryonic and fetal development in different genotypes in pigs [PDF]

Bioscientifica Proceedings, 2020
It is widely accepted that uterine capacity, not ovulation rate, is the greatest restraint on litter size in pigs. Recently, the reproductive strategy(s) of the Chinese Meishan pig, a breed which farrows three to five more piglets per litter than US or European pig breeds, has come under intense scrutiny.

Establishing in vivo and ex vivo chick embryo models to investigate fetal tendon healing

Scientific Reports, 2023
Injured adult tendons heal fibrotically and possess high re-injury rates, whereas fetal tendons appear to heal scarlessly. However, knowledge of fetal tendon wound healing is limited due in part to the need for an accessible animal model.

Birth weight is related with bone mineral content in adulthood: results of ELSA-Brasil

Revista de Saúde Pública, 2022
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between birth weight and bone mineral content (BMC), and whether this relationship differs between men and women. METHODS A total of 10,159 participants from the ELSA-Brasil cohort were eligible for this analysis.

POGZ Is Required for Silencing Mouse Embryonic β-like Hemoglobin and Human Fetal Hemoglobin Expression

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Fetal globin genes are transcriptionally silenced during embryogenesis through hemoglobin switching. Strategies to derepress fetal globin expression in the adult could alleviate symptoms in sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia.

Development of Human Embryonic and Fetal Dermal Vasculature

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1989
This report summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the structure and organization of the microvasculature in developing human skin. Previous observations suggested that the skin contains no blood vessels as late as eight weeks estimated gestational age (EGA).

Upper arm posture during human embryonic and fetal development [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2021
AbstractThe upper extremity posture is characteristic of each Carnegie stage (CS), particularly between CS18 and CS23. Morphogenesis of the shoulder joint complex largely contributes to posture, although the exact position of the shoulder joints has not been described.

Meta-analysis of the incidence of pregnancy losses in dairy cows at different stages to 90 days of gestation

JDS Communications, 2023
Pregnancy losses are a biological challenge and economically important in dairy herds. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantify losses in 4 periods from 19 to 90 d of pregnancy corresponding to the physiological development of gestation in dairy cows. A
