Aims While pregnancy‐related changes in phase I enzyme activity are well‐documented, less is known about the impact on phase II enzymes. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that changes in the pharmacokinetics (PK) of uridine 5′‐diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase (UGT) substrates during pregnancy result from altered enzyme expression or activity ...

MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Quantification of Palmar and Digital Epidermal Thickness and Sweat Duct Density
ABSTRACT Palmar digital skin, with its high density of epidermal sweat glands and unique stratum corneum, derives its autonomic innervation from peripheral nerves. Understanding the changes to these structures could serve as objective proxy markers following peripheral nerve injury and interventions to promote regeneration.
