Evidence for the expression of vasorin in the human female reproductive tissues
Objective: To investigate the expression and localization of Vasorin (Vasn) in human female reproductive system. Methods: The presence of Vasorin was evaluated by RT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses in patient-derived endometrial, myometrial and granulosa

Influence of smooth muscle contractility by inhibition of crac channels activity
The present in vitro study was focused on the differences in expression and activity of calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels of human term-pregnant and non-pregnant myometrium. The expression of Orai1 protein, as a functional subunit of CRAC

Dye diffusion during laparoscopic tubal patency tests may suggest a lymphatic contribution to dissemination in endometriosis: A prospective, observational study [PDF]
Aim Women with adenomyosis are at higher risk of endometriosis recurrence after surgery. This study was to assess if the lymphatic vessel network drained from the uterus to near organs where endometriosis foci lied.

Immune cells and preterm labour:do invariant NKT cells hold the key? [PDF]
We have developed our original made-to-measure (M2M) algorithm, PRIMAL, with the aim of modelling the Galactic disc from upcoming Gaia data. From a Milky Way like N-body disc galaxy simulation, we have created mock Gaia data using M0III stars as tracers,

A new affine inhibitor of sodium pump thiacalix[4]arene С-1193 increases the intracellular concentration of Ca ions and modifies myometrium contractility [PDF]
The methods of enzymatic and kinetic analysis were used to demonstrate that thiacalix[4]arene-bis-hydroxymethylphosphonic acid С-1193 had the inhibitory effect (І0.5 = 42.1 ± 0.6 nM) on Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane of myometrium cells ...

Differential expression of microRNA-206 and its target genes in pre-eclampsia [PDF]
Objectives: Pre-eclampsia is a multi-system disease that significantly contributes to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In this study, we used a non-biased microarray approach to identify novel circulating miRNAs in maternal plasma that may be ...

Regulators of G protein signalling proteins in the human myometrium [PDF]
The contractile state of the human myometrium is controlled by extracellular signals that promote relaxation or contraction. Many of these signals function through G proteincoupled receptors at the cell surface, stimulating heterotrimeric G proteins and ...

OESTROGEN METABOLISM IN SHEEP MYOMETRIUM [PDF]
Ovine myometrium obtained at 127 and 119 days of gestation was incubated in vitro with [4-14C]oestrone and [6,7-3H2]oestradiol\x=req-\ 17\g=a\, and [4-14C]oestrone and [6,7-3H2]oestrone-3-sulphate, respectively. It was considered significant that oestrone was converted mainly to the much more potent oestradiol-17\g=b\ with very little transformation to
