Entosis Allows Timely Elimination of the Luminal Epithelial Barrier for Embryo Implantation

Cell Reports, 2015
During implantation, uterine luminal epithelial (LE) cells first interact with the blastocyst trophectoderm. Within 30 hr after the initiation of attachment, LE cells surrounding the blastocyst in the implantation chamber (crypt) disappear, allowing ...

Hemophilia A: An Ideal Disease for Prenatal Therapy

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common inherited coagulation defect. Current state‐of‐the‐art treatment consists of frequent administration of prophylactic infusions of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) protein or bispecific antibodies that replace the cofactor function of FVIIIa to maintain hemostasis. However, these treatments are far from ideal,

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

Novel and High‐Throughput Method of Isolating Single Fetal Cells Using FACS for NIPT

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) as a method of single‐cell isolation of rare circulating fetal cells from maternal blood for use in cell‐based non‐invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT). Method Blood samples (30 mL) were collected from 75 ‘low‐risk’ pregnant women (gestational age 10–15 weeks).

Of Germ Cells, Trophoblasts, and Cancer Stem Cells

Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2008
The trophoblastic theory of cancer, proposed in the early 1900s by Dr John Beard, may not initially seem relevant to current cancer models and treatments. However, the underpinnings of this theory are remarkably similar to those of the cancer stem cell (CSC) theory.

Diflubenzuron Caused Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Ca2+ Homeostasis Disruption, and Intrinsic Apoptosis in Trophoblastic Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diflubenzuron is used as an insect growth inhibitor, and its potential risk to human health was raised owing to the possibility of environmental residues and human exposure. This study aimed to investigate the toxic mechanism of diflubenzuron on trophoblastic cells such as HTR8/SVneo and JEG‐3 cells. We investigated mitochondrial function, Ca2+

ANGPT2 Drives Thyroid Cancer Progression Through PI3K/AKT Signaling and Correlates With Poor Prognosis and Immune Infiltration

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Angiopoietin‐2 (ANGPT2) is known to participate in tumor progression and immune modulation across multiple malignancies. Nevertheless, its expression pattern, prognostic value, and biological function in thyroid cancer (THCA) have not been comprehensively investigated.

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Safety of Venom Immunotherapy in Pregnancy: A Multicentre Study

Allergy, EarlyView.
Venom immunotherapy (VIT) during pregnancy, when maintenance dose is well tolerated, can be continued. No increased risk of adverse effects to VIT or safety concerns for the pregnancy or the newborns were observed. No decreased efficacy of VIT, in case of re‐stings, was reported.
