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

A call to standardize the nomenclature of human fetal membrane at the feto-maternal interface. [PDF]
PlacentaDespite being one of the largest intrauterine tissues in surface area, the fetal membrane that lines the intrauterine cavity is often overlooked, forgotten, or misidentified in clinical and basic science research. The feto-maternal interface is comprised

Fetal membranes and placentation in Chiroptera [PDF]
Reproduction, 1979 Introduction The development of the fetal membranes and the definitive structure of the placenta have been studied in one or a few representatives of the following families of Chiroptera: Pteropidae (Gohre, 1892a, b; Selenka, 1892; Kohlbrugge, 1913; Keibel, 1922; van der Sprenkel, 1932; Moghe, 1951, 1956 ...

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.

On the defect tolerance of fetal membranes [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2019 A series of mechanical experiments were performed to quantify the strength and fracture toughness of human amnion and chorion. The experiments were complemented with computational investigations using a ‘hybrid’ model that includes an explicit representation of the collagen fibre network of amnion. Despite its much smaller thickness, amnion is shown to

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

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.

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.

The mammalian fetal membranes [PDF]
Reproduction, 1981 Some of my colleagues entering the field of reproductive physiology have expressed dismay at the bewildering variety of structures involved in the maintenance of pregnancy in different species. They have also expressed a certain exasperation with the terminology used in describing it. This essay was written to provide them with a very broad picture and

Lipopolysaccharide induces nitric oxide synthase expression and platelet-activating factor increases nitric oxide production in human fetal membranes in culture [PDF]
, 2004 Platelet-activating factor and nitric oxide may be involved in the initiation of human labour as inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to test whether platelet-activating factor and lipopolysaccharide were able to induce nitric oxide synthase
