Vascular Growth in the Fetal Lung [PDF]
, 2011 The structure of the lung is truly remarkable. It is primarily composed of three branched tubular networks (the airway, pulmonary artery and vein, bronchial artery and vein) which supply blood and air to the site of gas exchange and which maintain ...

Expression of the insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate receptor in multiple human tissues during fetal life and early infancy [PDF]
, 1992 The insulin like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor has been detected in many cells and tissues. In the rat, there is a dramatic developmental regulation of IGF-II/M6P receptor expression, the receptor being high in fetal and ...

Placental transport of nutrients and its implications for fetal growth.
Journal of reproduction and fertility. Supplement, 2019 Placental growth during early and mid-pregnancy has a powerful, constraining influence on fetal growth during late pregnancy. Studies involving surgical and environmental reduction of placental size in sheep have shown an associated reduction in capacity

Immunological characterization of chromogranins A and B and secretogranin II in the bovine pancreatic islet [PDF]
, 1987 Antisera against chromogranin A and B and secretogranin II were used for analysing the bovine pancreas by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. All three antigens were found in extracts of fetal pancreas by one dimensional immunoblotting. A comparison
