The impact of gravidity, symptomatology and timing of infection on placental malaria

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2020
Background Placental malaria is associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. While primigravidity has been reported as a risk factor for placental malaria, little is known regarding the relationship between gravidity, symptomatology and ...

Effects of intrauterine exposure to synthetic glucocorticoids on fetal, newborn, and infant hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in humans : a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Synthetic glucocorticoids are commonly used in reproductive medicine. Fetal organ systems are highly sensitive to changes in the intrauterine environment, including overexposure to glucocorticoids.

Research Progress in Isolation and Enrichment of Fetal Cells from Maternal Blood

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, 2022
Prenatal diagnosis is an important means of early diagnosis of genetic diseases, which can effectively reduce the risk of birth defects. Free fetal cells, as a carrier of intact fetal genetic material, provide hope for the development of high-sensitivity

An induced pluripotent stem cell line (GZHMCi004-A) derived from a fetus with heterozygous G380R mutation in FGFR3 gene causing achondroplasia

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2021
Achondroplasia (ACH; MIM #100800) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by gain-of-function mutations in FGFR3 gene and results in short-limb dwarfism.

Fetal nutrition and adult disease [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000
Recent research suggests that several of the major diseases of later life, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes, originate in impaired intrauterine growth and development. These diseases may be consequences of "programming," whereby a stimulus or insult at a critical, sensitive period of early life has permanent effects ...

JAZF1 safeguards human endometrial stromal cells survival and decidualization by repressing the transcription of G0S2

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy, which depends on the fine-tuned regulation of hESCs survival, and its perturbation contributes to pregnancy loss. However, the underlying mechanisms

Hypoxic Preconditioning Enhances Survival and Proangiogenic Capacity of Human First Trimester Chorionic Villus-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Fetal Tissue Engineering. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Prenatal stem cell-based regenerative therapies have progressed substantially and have been demonstrated as effective treatment options for fetal diseases that were previously deemed untreatable. Due to immunoregulatory properties, self-renewal capacity,

Fetal roots of cardiac disease [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2005
In western countries, cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of men and women. In the past decade, it has become increasingly clear that women are just as vulnerable to heart disease as men. In 2004, the number of women with some form of the disease will exceed the number of such men in the USA (www.americanheart.org).

Risk factors, predictive markers and prevention strategies for intrauterine fetal death. An integrative review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
According to World Health Organization (WHO), fetal death is defined as the death of the fetus prior to its complete expulsion, independent of the duration of pregnancy, thus only ascribing the term stillbirth to fetal deaths in the case of pregnancies ...

Oxidative stress in pediatric diseases associated with the origin of life and growth and development

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
The presence of oxidative stress and an imbalance in antioxidant mechanisms have been demonstrated in numerous diseases. Furthermore, mounting evidence suggests that the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of certain pediatric diseases linked to the ...
