A Spatiotemporal Single‐Cell Atlas Uncovers Dysregulated ECM Dynamics and Septal Remodeling Arrest in Human Ventricular Septal Defects

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrating single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics reveals human ventricular septal defect (VSD) as a disease of microenvironmental insufficiency and structural remodeling arrest. Attenuated endothelial‐fibroblast crosstalk, alongside downregulated THBS1/TGF‐β1 and MMP2 signaling networks, impairs the endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) and

Novel Algorithms for Improved Sensitivity in Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) of cell-free DNA in maternal plasma, which is a mixture of maternal DNA and a low percentage of fetal DNA, can detect fetal aneuploidies using massively parallel sequencing. Because of the low percentage of fetal DNA,

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Transcriptomic Profiling of SLC and ABC Transporters in the Human Term Placenta

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Solute carriers (SLC) and ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential for placental solute exchange and fetal protection, yet their transcriptomic profiles in the human placenta remain poorly characterized. Although fetal sex influences placental development and function, its impact on transporter expression is unclear.

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

NIPAT as Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing Using a Panel of 861 SNVs

open access: yes, 2023
In 1997, it was discovered that maternal plasma contains Cell-Free Fetal DNA (cffDNA). cffDNA has been investigated as a source of DNA for non-invasive prenatal testing for fetal pathologies, as well as for non-invasive paternity testing.
