Compensatory Feto-Placental Upregulation of the Nitric Oxide System during Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Fetal Growth Restriction is often associated with a feto-placental vascular dysfunction conceivably involving endothelial cells. Our study aimed to verify this pathogenic role for feto-placental endothelial cells and, coincidentally ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces VIVID (Vesicle In Vivo Identification using DNA), a qPCR‐based platform that tracks PCR‐amplifiable DNA tags loaded in the EVs for accurate and quantifiable EV biodistribution in vivo. ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent promising carriers for nucleic acid therapeutics, offering advantages over synthetic nanoparticles ...

Variants of hemoglobin F and observations on hemoglobin F (Malta) [PDF]
, 1970 The major hemoglobin component found in the blood of humans at birth is fetal hemoglobin, hemoglobin F. In common with most other human hemoglobins it has a tetrameric structure, each molecule being made up of two different pairs of polypeptide chains ...

Optimal villi density for maximal oxygen uptake in the human placenta
, 2015 We present a stream-tube model of oxygen exchange inside a human placenta functional unit (a placentone). The effect of villi density on oxygen transfer efficiency is assessed by numerically solving the diffusion-convection equation in a 2D+1D geometry ...

Identification of erythroferrone as an erythroid regulator of iron metabolism. [PDF]
, 2014 Recovery from blood loss requires a greatly enhanced supply of iron to support expanded erythropoiesis. After hemorrhage, suppression of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin allows increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores.

Biocompatible but Antibacterial Mechanism of Graphene Oxide for Sustainable Antibiotics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Graphene oxide (GO) exhibits selective antibacterial activity through specific interactions between its oxygen functional groups and bacterial membrane phospholipid POPG, causing membrane destabilization while maintaining biocompatibility. Model membrane studies and infected wound models in mice and pigs demonstrate effective bacterial suppression and ...

3′HS1 CTCF binding site in human β-globin locus regulates fetal hemoglobin expression
eLife, 2021 Mutations in the adult β-globin gene can lead to a variety of hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. An increase in fetal hemoglobin expression throughout adulthood, a condition named hereditary persistence of fetal ...

Bioengineered 3D hPSC‐Cholangiocyte Ducts With Physiological Signals for Biliary Disease Modeling
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Tian and colleagues generated a bioengineered bile duct from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived intrahepatic cholangiocytes within a high‐throughput, 384‐well platform to systematically examine the influence of biliary physiological signals including fluid flow, stromal cells and bile acids, and models intrahepatic biliary disease progression ...

Evidence for multiple structural genes for the γ chain of human fetal hemoglobin [PDF]
, 1968 A sequence with a specific residue at each position was proposed for the γ chain of human fetal hemoglobin by Schroeder et al. (1) after a study in which hemoglobin from a number of individual infants was used.
