The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2021 Although hormonal induction of parturition in cattle results in the successful delivery of healthy calves, the risk of retained fetal membrane is significantly increased. In a previous study, a combination of the long-acting glucocorticoid, triamcinolone

Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, 2019 A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which signals from the fetus initiate human parturition is required. Our recent findings support the core hypothesis that oxidative stress (OS) and cellular senescence of the fetal membranes (amnion ...

The role of cellular coupling in the spontaneous generation of electrical activity in uterine tissue [PDF]
PLoS ONE 10 (2015) e0118443, 2014 The spontaneous emergence of contraction-inducing electrical activity in the uterus at the beginning of labor remains poorly understood, partly due to the seemingly contradictory observation that isolated uterine cells are not spontaneously active. It is known, however, that the expression of gap junctions increases dramatically in the approach to ...

Novel concepts on pregnancy clocks and alarms: redundancy and synergy in human parturition.
Human Reproduction Update, 2016 The signals and mechanisms that synchronize the timing of human parturition remain a mystery and a better understanding of these processes is essential to avert adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Immune cells and preterm labour:do invariant NKT cells hold the key? [PDF]
, 2015 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,

Control of parturition in ruminants
Bioscientifica Proceedings, 2019 Parturition is a process which, when set into motion, occurs to completion. This review concerns the control of parturition in ruminants. Parturition is an endocrine event, dependent upon the activation of the fetal hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA ...

Effects of maternal subnutrition during early pregnancy on cow hematological profiles and offspring physiology and vitality in two beef breeds [PDF]
, 2019 This experiment evaluated the effects of subnutrition during early gestation on hematology in cows (Bos Taurus) and on hematological, metabolic, endocrine, and vitality parameters in their calves.

Mediators of Inflammation, 2012 Pregnancy is a complex immunological state in which a bias towards T helper 2 (Th2) protects the fetus. Evidence suggests that proinflammatory cytokines increase the risk of poor neonatal outcome, independently of the direct effect of preterm labour. The

Myometrial Transcriptional Signatures of Human Parturition
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The process of parturition involves the transformation of the quiescent myometrium (uterine smooth muscle) to the highly contractile laboring state. This is thought to be driven by changes in gene expression in myometrial cells.

Differential effects of steroids and retinoids on bovine myelopoiesis in vitro [PDF]
, 2004 Pregnancy and parturition are associated with physiological changes caused by steroid hormones. Alterations in number, maturity, and function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes observed in dairy cows at parturition suggest a common causative relationship ...
