Proteoglycans and hyaluronan in human fetal membranes [PDF]
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2001 The aim of this study was to describe the distributions of major extracellular matrix components, such as proteoglycans, collagen and hyaluronan, in the fetal membranes at term.Fetal membranes were obtained from elective cesarean deliveries at term.

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 ...

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

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.

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
