Organ-On-Chip Technology: The Future of Feto-Maternal Interface Research?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The placenta and fetal membrane act as a protective barrier throughout pregnancy while maintaining communication and nutrient exchange between the baby and the mother. Disruption of this barrier leads to various pregnancy complications, including preterm

Flickering of fetal erythrocytes membrane under gestational diabetes observed with dual time resolved membrane fluctuation spectroscopy

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023
The membrane flickering of human fetal red blood cells (RBCs) affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was studied with dual time resolved membrane fluctuation spectroscopy (D-TRMFS).

Proteomic Study of Fetal Membrane: Inflammation-Triggered Proteolysis of Extracellular Matrix May Present a Pathogenic Pathway for Spontaneous Preterm Birth

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
IntroductionSpontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), which predominantly presents as spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL) or prelabor premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), is a syndrome that accounts for 5–10% of live births annually.

Novel African trypanocidal agents: membrane rigidifying peptides [PDF]

, 2012
The bloodstream developmental forms of pathogenic African trypanosomes are uniquely susceptible to killing by small hydrophobic peptides. Trypanocidal activity is conferred by peptide hydrophobicity and charge distribution and results from increased ...

Immunobiology of Acute Chorioamnionitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Acute chorioamnionitis is characterized by neutrophilic infiltration and inflammation at the maternal fetal interface. It is a relatively common complication of pregnancy and can have devastating consequences including preterm labor, maternal infections,

Amnion cells engineering: A new perspective in fetal membrane healing after intrauterine surgery? [PDF]

, 2006
In this study we aimed to set up an in vitro culture of the rabbit amnion in order to support in vivo fetal membrane healing capacity following fetoscopy.

Analysis of the microbiome in maternal, intrauterine and fetal environments based on 16S rRNA genes following different durations of membrane rupture

Scientific Reports, 2023
The incidence of chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis increases with the increasing time of rupture of membranes. Changes in the amount and categories of microbiomes in maternal and fetal environments after membrane rupture have yet to be discussed.

Immunohistochemical detection of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in fetal and adult bovine epididymis: Release by the apocrine secretion mode? [PDF]

, 2006
Originally defined as a lymphokine inhibiting the random migration of macrophages, the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important mediator of the host response to infection.

Effect of immunization with fetal cells on adenovirus-12 oncogenesis [PDF]

, 1974
The effect of immunization with hamster fetal cells on the tumor induction by adnovirus type 12 was studied by in vivo and in vitro. The immunization with lO-day old fetal cells showed a recognizable inhibition on the tumor induction by adenovirus type ...
