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

The mechanism by which MALAT1/CREG1 regulates premature rupture of fetal membrane through autophagy mediated differentiation of amniotic fibroblasts [PDF]
Non-coding RNA ResearchBackground: Premature rupture of fetal membrane (PROM) is one of the main causes of premature delivery. The amniotic membrane plays a major role in bearing weight, and amniotic fibroblasts play an important role.

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 ...

Interactions between 14 Elements in the Human Placenta, Fetal Membrane and Umbilical Cord. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 The aim of the study was to investigate relationships between the concentrations of macroelements (Ca), microelements (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Sn, Sr, V, Zn) and heavy metals (Ag, Cd, Pb) in the placenta, fetal membrane and umbilical cord.

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.

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.

Spatial transcriptomics of fetal membrane-Decidual interface reveals unique contributions by cell types in term and preterm births. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDuring pregnancy, two fetomaternal interfaces, the placenta-decidua basalis and the fetal membrane-decidua parietals, allow for fetal growth and maturation and fetal-maternal crosstalk, and protect the fetus from infectious and inflammatory signaling ...

A streptococcal lipid toxin induces membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis leading to fetal injury
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015 Group B streptococci (GBS) are Gram‐positive bacteria that cause infections in utero and in newborns. We recently showed that the GBS pigment is hemolytic and increased pigment production promotes bacterial penetration of human placenta.
