Effect of long-acting injectable progesterone supplementation, seven days after insemination, on embryo and fetal development in Nellore cows [PDF]
This study evaluated the effects of long-acting injectable progesterone supplementation (P4LA) on embryonic and fetal development and birth weight in Nellore cows seven days after timed artificial insemination (TAI).

Circadian clocks during embryonic and fetal development
AbstractCircadian rhythmicity is a fundamental characteristic of organisms, which helps ensure that vital functions occur in an appropriate and precise temporal sequence and in accordance with cyclic environmental changes. Living beings are endowed with a system of biological clocks that measure time on a 24‐hr basis, termed the circadian timing system.

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

Role of vitamin A/retinoic acid in regulation of embryonic and adult hematopoiesis [PDF]
Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient throughout life. Its physiologically active metabolite retinoic acid (RA), acting through nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs), is a potent regulator of patterning during embryonic development, as well as being ...

Development of Human Embryonic and Fetal Dermal Vasculature
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).

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

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

Revisiting the enigmatic cortical calretinin-expressing interneurons
Cortical calretinin (CR)-expressing interneurons represent a heterogeneous subpopulation of about 10-30% of GABAergic interneurons, which altogether total ca. 12-20% of all cortical neurons.

Prenatal Development and Function of Human Mononuclear Phagocytes
The human mononuclear phagocyte (MP) system, which includes dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages, is a critical regulator of innate and adaptive immune responses. During embryonic development, MPs derive sequentially in yolk sac progenitors, fetal

First steps to define murine amniotic fluid stem cell microenvironment [PDF]
Stem cell niche refers to the microenvironment where stem cells reside in living organisms. Several elements define the niche and regulate stem cell characteristics, such as stromal support cells, gap junctions, soluble factors, extracellular matrix ...
