Developmental and functional effects of steroid hormones on the neuroendocrine axis and spinal cord [PDF]
, 2016 This review highlights the principal effects of steroid hormones at central and peripheral levels in the neuroendocrine axis. The data discussed highlight the principal role of oestrogens and testosterone in hormonal programming in relation to sexual ...

Dielectrophoretic trapping of dissociated fetal cortical rat neurons [PDF]
, 2000 Recording and stimulating neuronal activity at multiple sites can be realized with planar microelectrode arrays. Efficient use of such arrays requires each site to be covered by at least one neuron.

Short fetal leukocyte telomere length and preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Rupture of the fetal membranes is a common harbinger of imminent labor and delivery. Telomere shortening is a surrogate for oxidative stress (OS) and senescence.

Truncated human endothelin receptor A produced by alternative splicing and its expression in melanoma [PDF]
, 1998 In this study, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify human endothelin receptor A (ETA) and ETB receptor mRNA. A truncated ETA receptor transcript with exons 3 and 4 skipped was found.

Initiation of human parturition: signaling from senescent fetal tissues via extracellular vesicle mediated paracrine mechanism [PDF]
Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, 2019 A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which signals from the fetus initiate human parturition is required. Our recent findings support the core hypothesis that oxidative stress (OS) and cellular senescence of the fetal membranes (amnion ...

The variation in transparency of amniotic membrane used in ocular surface regeneration [PDF]
, 2010 Background/aims: Scant consideration has been given to the variation in structure of the human amniotic membrane (AM) at source or to the significance such differences might have on its clinical transparency.

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]
, 1989 Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

Bacteria localization and chorion thinning among preterm premature rupture of membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 OBJECTIVE: Bacterial colonization of the fetal membranes and its role in pathogenesis of membrane rupture is poorly understood. Prior retrospective work revealed chorion layer thinning in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) subjects.
