Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.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

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Canada's 2009 risk management plan (RMP) framework has not been evaluated for prenatal exposure impact. Conversely, widely used drugs such as nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) lack RMPs. We assessed first‐trimester exposure to RMP‐regulated medications following regulatory interventions and to NSAIDs following safety publications.

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

KCNJ4 variants disrupt inward‐rectifier potassium channel function and cause refractory epilepsy
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis, most frequently arising from ion channel dysfunction. Although multiple inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels have been implicated in epileptogenesis, the contribution of KCNJ4, which encodes the Kir2.3 channel, has not previously been established in human
