Fetal cells in maternal circulation : fetal cell separation and FISH analysis [PDF]
This work focuses on the isolation of fetal cells from the blood of pregnant women, with the aim of developing safe, efficacious, non-invasive alternatives for prenatal diagnosis.

Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal RhD status using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma with TaqMan® real-time PCR assay [PDF]
Prenatal diagnosis is now part of established obstetric practice in many countries. However, conventional methods of prenatal diagnosis of obtaining fetal tissues for genetic analysis, including amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, are invasive

Fetal liver blood flow distribution: role in human developmental strategy to prioritize fat deposition versus brain development [PDF]
Among primates, human neonates have the largest brains but also the highest proportion of body fat. If placental nutrient supply is limited, the fetus faces a dilemma: should resources be allocated to brain growth, or to fat deposition for use as a ...

Fetal, infant, and childhood growth and adult blood pressure: a longitudinal study from birth to 22 years of age [PDF]
Background: people who are small at birth tend to have higher blood pressure in later life. However, it is not clear whether it is fetal growth restriction or the accelerated postnatal growth that often follows it that leads to higher blood pressure ...

Objective: Evidence suggests that physical activity whilst pregnant is beneficially associated with maternal cardiometabolic health and perinatal outcomes. It is unknown if benefits extend to objective markers of the neonate condition at birth.

Acute resveratrol exposure does not impact hemodynamics of the fetal sheep
Babies born growth restricted are at an increased risk of both poor short‐and long‐term outcomes. Current interventions to improve fetal growth are ineffective and do not lower the lifetime risk of poor health status. Maternal resveratrol (RSV) treatment

Fetomaternal hemorrhage - case report
Maternal fetal leakage (FMH) is a well-known cause of fetal anemia. We define it as the transition of the fetal erythrocytes into the maternal circulation. Its severity is determined by measuring the level of fetal hemoglobin in the mother's blood using

Animal models of fetal growth restriction: Considerations for translational medicine. [PDF]
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the failure of a fetus to reach its full genetic growth potential. It occurs in up to 8% of pregnancies, and after premature birth is the second leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity.

Ontological Differences in First Compared to Third Trimester Human Fetal Placental Chorionic Stem Cells [PDF]
Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) isolated from fetal tissues hold promise for use in tissue engineering applications and cell-based therapies, but their collection is restricted ethically and technically.
