Placenta‐derived extracellular vesicles: Signal messengers shuttling across the maternal‐fetal barrier

Interdisciplinary Medicine
Intercellular communication across the maternal‐fetal barrier is essential for maintaining physiological balance during pregnancy. As the structural foundation of the maternal‐fetal barrier, the placenta is the core site for material exchange and ...

Placenta Extracellular Vesicles: Messengers Connecting Maternal and Fetal Systems

Biomolecules
The placenta operates during gestation as the primary communication organ between the mother and fetus. It is essential for gas, nutrient exchange, and fetal waste transfer.

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

ZIKV Disrupts Placental Ultrastructure and Drug Transporter Expression in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection can induce fetal brain abnormalities. Here, we investigated whether maternal ZIKV infection affects placental physiology and metabolic transport potential and impacts the fetal outcome, regardless of viral presence ...

Characteristics and temporal trends of EU teratological safety signals and information dissemination to healthcare professionals in the Netherlands—A contribution of the ConcePTION project

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Although regulatory responses to safety signals have been studied, pregnancy‐specific data and their dissemination to medical professionals remain unclear. This study examined the characteristics and temporal trends of teratological safety signals prompting the European Medicines Agency to implement risk minimization measures.

Aberrant placental structure is corrected with repeated nanoparticle-mediated IGF1 treatments in a Guinea pig model of fetal growth restriction

Translational Research in Anatomy
Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is most commonly due to placental insufficiency. There are currently no treatments for placental insufficiency or FGR, and the only intervention is iatrogenic pre-term delivery. We have previously shown efficacy

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Exploring maternal-fetal interface with in vitro placental and trophoblastic models

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
The placenta, being a temporary organ, plays a crucial role in facilitating the exchange of nutrients and gases between the mother and the fetus during pregnancy. Any abnormalities in the development of this vital organ not only lead to various pregnancy-

A White Paper on Advancing Long‐Acting Therapeutics for Maternal and Pediatric Health by Bridging Gaps in Clinical Research, Access and Regulation

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
As use cases for long‐acting therapeutics expand across clinical indications, there is a critical need to ensure the inclusion of women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, infants and children—populations with a historical gap in the availability of interventions already approved for use in adults.
