Compensatory fetal membrane mechanisms between biglycan and decorin in inflammation. [PDF]
, 2015 Preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (PPROM) is associated with infection, and is one of the most common causes of preterm birth. Abnormal expression of biglycan and decorin, two extracellular matrix proteoglycans, leads to preterm birth and ...

Impaired placentomal interferon signaling as the possible cause of retained fetal membrane in parturition-induced cows [PDF]
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2021 Although hormonal induction of parturition in cattle results in the successful delivery of healthy calves, the risk of retained fetal membrane is significantly increased. In a previous study, a combination of the long-acting glucocorticoid, triamcinolone

Gross appearance of the fetal membrane on the placental surface is associated with histological chorioamnionitis and neonatal respiratory disorders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 An opaque fetal membrane based on gross appearance is traditionally indicative of histological chorioamnionitis; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is currently no supportive evidence, and its diagnostic efficiency has not yet been ...

Up-regulation of cytosolic prostaglandin E synthase in fetal-membrane and amniotic prostaglandin E2 accumulation in labor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known to have important roles in labor, but the detailed mechanism underlying the spontaneous human labor remains unknown.

Possible important roles of galectins in the healing of human fetal membranes
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The fetal membranes healing is a complex and dynamic process of replacing devitalized and missing cellular structures and tissue layers. Multiple cells and extracellular matrices, and cell differentiation, migration and proliferation may participate in ...

INDUCTION OF ABORTION IN IRAQI GOATS USING BROMOCRIPTINE [PDF]
Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research, 2009 Twenty pregnant goats at gestation period ranged from 100 – 130 days were used in this study and divided in to four groups according to duration of gestation period. G (A) = 100 – 110 days, G (B) = 111 – 120 days, G (C) = 121 – 130 days.

New Insights on the Biomechanics of the Fetal Membrane
Frontiers in Bioscience-Scholar, 2023 During pregnancy, the Fetal Membrane (FM) is subjected to mechanical stretching that may result in preterm labor. The structural integrity of the FM is maintained by its collagenous layer.
