A computational model of the fetal circulation to quantify blood redistribution in intrauterine growth restriction. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2014
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) due to placental insufficiency is associated with blood flow redistribution in order to maintain delivery of oxygenated blood to the brain.

Circulating soluble endoglin and placental abruption [PDF]

Prenatal Diagnosis, 2008
AbstractObjectiveOur objective was to investigate whether serum concentrations of a novel anti‐angiogenic factor, soluble endoglin (sEng), could predict placental abruption.MethodsIn a nested case–control study of nulliparous pregnancies, we examined levels of sEng in serum collected prospectively from 31 women who later developed placental abruption ...

Effects of maternal smoking on human placental vascularization: A systematic review

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2019
The abnormal development of placental vascularization leads to placental insufficiency, which further reduces the nutrient and trace exchange between maternal circulation and fetal circulation. These changes cause maternal and fetal complications.

Three‐dimensional morphological revealing of human placental villi with common obstetric complications via optical coherence tomography

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2023
Placental villi play a vital role in human fetal development, acting as the bridge of material exchange between the maternal and fetal. The abnormal morphology of placental villi is closely related to placental circulation disorder and pregnancy ...

Assessment of the human placental microbiome in early pregnancy

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
IntroductionBacteria derived from the maternal circulation have been suggested to seed the human placenta during development leading to an intrinsic placental microbiome. This concept has become controversial as numerous studies suggest that the apparent

Monocarboxylate transporter 8 modulates the viability and invasive capacity of human placental cells and fetoplacental growth in mice [PDF]

, 2013
Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) is a well-established thyroid hormone (TH) transporter. In humans, MCT8 mutations result in changes in circulating TH concentrations and X-linked severe global neurodevelopmental delay.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Metalloprotease Dependent Release of Placenta Derived Fractalkine

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
The chemokine fractalkine is considered as unique since it exists both as membrane-bound adhesion molecule and as shed soluble chemoattractant. Here the hypothesis was tested whether placental fractalkine can be shed and released into the maternal ...
