Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Maternal serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1–to–placental growth factor ratio distinguishes growth-restricted from non–growth-restricted small-for-gestational-age fetusesAJOG Global Reports at a Glance

AJOG Global Reports
BACKGROUND: Fetal growth restriction secondary to chronic placental insufficiency is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. A significant proportion of fetuses with fetal growth restriction are small for gestational age, defined as a ...

Altered fetal growth, placental abnormalities, and stillbirth.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundWorldwide, stillbirth is one of the leading causes of death. Altered fetal growth and placental abnormalities are the strongest and most prevalent known risk factors for stillbirth.

Human-Induced CD49a+ NK Cells Promote Fetal Growth

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
CD49a+ natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in promoting fetal development and maintaining immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface during the early stages of pregnancy.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Prenatal Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Novel MicroRNA-mRNA Networks Associated with Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Pigs

Cells, 2021
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) occurs in 15–20% of pig neonates and poses huge economic losses to the pig industry. IUGR piglets have reduced skeletal muscle growth, which may persist after birth.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Effects of Rederivation by Embryo Vitrification on Performance in a Rabbit Paternal Line

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022
Embryo cryopreservation is a valuable tool for maintaining genetic variability and preserving breeds and lines, allowing to assess the response to selection and enabling genetic diffusion. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of rederivation by embryo

Fetal Growth Restriction

The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India, 2019
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a failure of fetus to reach its expected biological growth, based on its genetically predetermined potential. Whenever effective fetal weight is less than, 10th percentile or 2 standard deviation of population-specific growth curve, it is considered small for gestational age (SGA).
