Relationship of maternal vitamin D level with premature rupture of fetal membranes [PDF]
Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2020 Introduction: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is not only a major medical problem but also a social and economic problem. According to the results of some studies, Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy and labor may play a role in premature rupture

Fetal Membrane Epigenetics [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The characteristics of fetal membrane cells and their phenotypic adaptations to support pregnancy or promote parturition are defined by global patterns of gene expression controlled by chromatin structure. Heritable epigenetic chromatin modifications that include DNA methylation and covalent histone modifications establish chromatin regions permissive ...

A collagen plug with shape memory to seal iatrogenic fetal membrane defects after fetoscopic surgery
Bioactive Materials, 2023 Iatrogenic preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (iPPROM) after fetal surgery remains a strong trigger for premature birth. As fetal membrane defects do not heal spontaneously and amniotic fluid leakage and chorioamniotic membrane separation may ...

The citrus flavone nobiletin reduces pro-inflammatory and pro-labour mediators in fetal membranes and myometrium: implications for preterm birth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Spontaneous preterm birth is the leading cause of infant death and of neurological disabilities in survivors. A significant proportion of spontaneous preterm births are associated with infection.

Stretch Causes Cell Stress and the Downregulation of Nrf2 in Primary Amnion Cells
Biomolecules, 2022 Nuclear-factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor for the regulation of cellular responses to cellular stress and inflammation, and its expression is significantly lower after spontaneous term labor in human fetal membranes ...

Effect of silibinin in reducing inflammatory pathways in in vitro and in vivo models of infection-induced preterm birth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Infection-induced preterm birth is the largest cause of infant death and of neurological disabilities in survivors. Silibinin, from milk thistle, exerts potent anti-inflammatory activities in non-gestational tissues.

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.

Tissue Engineering a Fetal Membrane [PDF]
Tissue Engineering Part A, 2012 The aim of this study was to construct an artificial fetal membrane (FM) by combination of human amniotic epithelial stem cells (hAESCs) and a mechanically enhanced collagen scaffold containing encapsulated human amniotic stromal fibroblasts (hASFs). Such a tissue-engineered FM may have the potential to plug structural defects in the amniotic sac after
