The mother and the young child: Who programs whom [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
Intrauterine life is regulated by an epigenetic programme which adapts fetal life to the current and presumed conditions. The fetal programming determined by maternal nutritional disorders is at the origin of some metabolic and cardiovascular diseases of

Intrathyroidal Fetal Microchimerism in Graves’ Disease [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002
During pregnancy, fetal cells are known to reach the maternal circulation and infiltrate a variety of tissues (fetal microchimerism). Although the presence of such cells has the potential to modulate the maternal immune response to both self antigens and fetal alloantigens, the degree of their influence remains unclear.

Markers of placental function correlate with prevalence and quantity of nucleated fetal cells in maternal circulation in normotensive term pregnancies

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2023
Introduction Transplacental fetal cell transfer results in the engraftment of fetal‐origin cells in the pregnant woman's body, a phenomenon termed fetal microchimerism.

Characterization of fetal microchimeric immune cells in mouse maternal hearts during physiologic and pathologic pregnancies

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: During pregnancy, fetal cells can be incorporated into maternal tissues (fetal microchimerism), where they can persist postpartum. Whether these fetal cells are beneficial or detrimental to maternal health is unknown.

Assessment of fetal cell chimerism in transgenic pig lines generated by Sleeping beauty transposition. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Human cells migrate between mother and fetus during pregnancy and persist in the respective host for long-term after birth. Fetal microchimerism occurs also in twins sharing a common placenta or chorion.

Multipotent fetal stem cells in reproductive biology research

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2023
Due to the limited accessibility of the in vivo situation, the scarcity of the human tissue, legal constraints, and ethical considerations, the underlying molecular mechanisms of disorders, such as preeclampsia, the pathological consequences of ...

Microchimerism in Graves’ Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Microchimerism is the presence of cells from one individual in another genetically distinct individual. Pregnancy is the main cause of natural microchimerism through transplacental bidirectional cell trafficking between mother and ...

Advanced parental age affects cardiometabolic risk in offspring

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, Volume 112, Issue 11, Page 2307-2311, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Advanced age at conception usually refers to human mothers aged 35 years plus and fathers aged 40 years plus. Advanced parental age may be responsible for genetic and/or epigenetic alterations and may affect the health of offspring. Limited epidemiological and experimental studies have addressed the effect of advanced parental age on cardio ...
