HMGB1 promotes a p38MAPK associated non-infectious inflammatory response pathway in human fetal membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 OBJECTIVE: Spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) and preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pPROM) are major pregnancy complications often associated with a fetal inflammatory response.

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

Healing Mechanism of Ruptured Fetal Membrane [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) typically leads to spontaneous preterm birth within several days. In a few rare cases, however, amniotic fluid leakage ceases, amniotic fluid volume is restored, and pregnancy continues until term. Amnion, the collagen-rich layer that forms the load-bearing structure of the fetal membrane, has regenerative

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Retained placenta (RP) refers to reproductive disorders caused by the failure of fetal membranes to be expelled 12 h after delivery in dairy cows. Postpartum adhesion of the fetal membranes to the uterus causes diseases such as mastitis or endometritis ...

Healing of Preterm Ruptured Fetal Membranes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractPreterm premature rupture of membrane (pPROM) is associated with 30–40% of preterm births. Infection is considered a leading cause of pPROM due to increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines in amniotic fluid. Only 30%, however, are positive for microbial organisms by amniotic fluid culture.

Role of fetal membranes in signaling of fetal maturation and parturition
The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2010 The fetal membranes fulfill several functions during pregnancy. In addition to containing the products of conception and amniotic fluid, they presumably have barrier functions and fulfill paracrine signaling functions between the maternal (decidual) and fetal compartments.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.
