Occurrence of a RAGE-Mediated Inflammatory Response in Human Fetal Membranes
Context:Sterile inflammation has been shown to play a key role in the rupture of the fetal membranes (FMs). Moreover, an early and exacerbated runaway inflammation can evolve into a preterm premature rupture of membranes and lead to potential preterm ...

Iron overload is associated with pregnancy complications. Ferroportin (FPN) is the only known iron exporter in mammalian cells. We hypothesize that FPN is functionally important in ferrotopsis, a process of iron-dependent non-apoptotic programmed cell ...

The method of hermetic sealing of iatrogenic damage of fetal membranes during fetal surgical interventions [PDF]
The article presents a new method for treating iatrogenic damage to membranes in fetuscopic interventions. Since surgical treatment during pregnancy is associated with the use of trocar and amniotic fetal puncture, the most frequent complication of this ...

Initiation of human parturition: signaling from senescent fetal tissues via extracellular vesicle mediated paracrine mechanism [PDF]
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 ...

Characterization of an organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP-B) in human placenta [PDF]
Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are a family of multispecific carriers that mediate the sodium-independent transport of steroid hormone and conjugates, drugs, and numerous anionic endogenous substrates.
