Biological behaviors of muscarinic receptors in mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta and bone marrow [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020
Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors.

C1431T Variant of PPARγ Is Associated with Preeclampsia in Pregnant Women

Life, 2021
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is essential for placental development, whose SNPs have shown increased susceptibility to pregnancy-related diseases, such as preeclampsia.

Tropism and Infectivity of Pandemic Influenza A H1N1/09 Virus in the Human Placenta

Viruses, 2022
Influenza virus infection in pregnant women may put the fetus at higher risk; however, to date, there has been no detailed research about the expression of influenza virus receptors in the human placenta.

Sex at the interface: the origin and impact of sex differences in the developing human placenta

Biology of Sex Differences, 2022
The fetal placenta is a source of hormones and immune factors that play a vital role in maintaining pregnancy and facilitating fetal growth. Cells in this extraembryonic compartment match the chromosomal sex of the embryo itself.

Integrative Single-Cell RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells Derived from Human Placenta

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells derived from placenta (PMSCs) are an attractive source for regenerative medicine because of their multidifferentiation potential and immunomodulatory capabilities.

The RNA landscape of the human placenta in health and disease

Nature Communications, 2021
The placenta is the interface between mother and fetus and inadequate function contributes to short and long-term ill-health. The placenta is absent from most large-scale RNA-Seq datasets.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Human Placenta in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus at the Single-Cell Level

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Increasing evidence shows that placentation defects may play important roles in GDM. However, our understanding of the human placenta remains limited.

Establishment of the fetal-maternal interface: developmental events in human implantation and placentation

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Early pregnancy is a complex and well-orchestrated differentiation process that involves all the cellular elements of the fetal-maternal interface. Aberrant trophoblast-decidual interactions can lead to miscarriage and disorders that occur later in ...
