Assessing the Causal Relationship of Maternal Height on Birth Size and Gestational Age at Birth: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis

PLoS Medicine, 2015
Background Observational epidemiological studies indicate that maternal height is associated with gestational age at birth and fetal growth measures (i.e., shorter mothers deliver infants at earlier gestational ages with lower birth weight and birth ...

ADAR1 as a Placental Innate Immune Rheostat Sustaining the Homeostatic Balance of Intrinsic Interferon Response at the Maternal‐Fetal Interface

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that ADAR1, an RNA‐editing enzyme, fine‐tunes immune responses in the placenta by preventing the accumulation of immunogenic double‐stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) from interferon‐stimulated genes. The loss of ADAR1 in the placenta leads to excessive interferon signaling restricted to the junctional zone, disrupting placental development and ...

A compelling symmetry: The extended fetuses-at-risk perspective on modal, optimal and relative birthweight and gestational age.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundThe relationship between several intriguing perinatal phenomena, namely, modal, optimal, and relative birthweight and gestational age, remains poorly understood, especially the mechanism by which relative birthweight and gestational age resolve

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia: Impact of small for gestational age. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Small for gestational age and preeclampsia have both been described as risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm neonates, but their respective role in the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is debated.

Variations in Innate Immune Cell Subtypes Correlate with Epigenetic Clocks, Inflammaging and Health Outcomes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses a high‐resolution DNA methylation reference panel for 19 immune cell‐types, as well as transcriptomic, metabolomic, and large population cohort data to show that age‐related epigenetic heterogeneity within monocytes correlates with inflammaging, biological age, and all‐causemortality, and does so more strongly than existing monocyte ...

BHLHE40 Cooperates with GATA2/3 to Control Human Syncytiotrophoblast Lineage Differentiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
BHLHE40 interacts directly with GATA2 and GATA3 and co‐occupies genomic loci critical for STB differentiation and function. BHLHE40 also affects GATA2/3 binding at enhancer and promoter regions. Moreover, BHLHE40 is potentially involved in genome‐wide remodeling of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac chromatin landscapes through GATA2/3 recruitment, activating ...

Ultrasonography Guided Gestational Age Estimation Using Transcerebellar Diameter in Third Trimester Pregnancy

Journal of Nobel Medical College
Background: The correct estimation of gestational age is of great importance for managing pregnancy. Determining gestational age by the first-trimester scan is considered the gold standard, but classical calculation from the last menstrual period is also

Long-term trends in the longevity of scientific elites: evidence from the British and the Russian academies of science.

, 2011
National science academies represent intellectual elites and vanguard groups in the achievement of longevity. We estimated life expectancy (LE) at age 50 of members of the British Royal Society (RS) for the years 1670-2007 and of members of the Russian ...
