Zidovudine exposure in HIV-1 infected Tanzanian women increases mitochondrial DNA levels in placenta and umbilical cords. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Zidovudine (AZT) constitutes part of the recommended regimens for prevention and treatment of HIV-1 infection. At the same time, AZT as well as HIV-1 infection itself may induce mitochondrial damage.

Comparative proteomic analysis of malformed umbilical cords from somatic cell nuclear transfer-derived piglets: implications for early postnatal death [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Somatic cell nuclear transfer (scNT)-derived piglets have high rates of mortality, including stillbirth and postnatal death. Here, we examined severe malformed umbilical cords (MUC), as well as other organs, from nine scNT-derived term piglets.

Venous and Arterial Endothelial Cells from Human Umbilical Cords: Potential Cell Sources for Cardiovascular Research

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Although cardiovascular devices are mostly implanted in arteries or to replace arteries, in vitro studies on implant endothelialization are commonly performed with human umbilical cord-derived venous endothelial cells (HUVEC).

First evidence of microplastic accumulation in placentas and umbilical cords from pregnancies in Brazil [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Microplastics (MPs) production and degradation are becoming a global concern. They accumulate across diverse environments, animals, and human tissues, closely linking to emerging environmental health impacts.

A misdiagnosed case of a 150-cm umbilical cord coiled twice around the fetal neck with a true cord knot: A rare Syrian case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023
The normal umbilical cord is a crucial component during pregnancy, but sometimes it could become compromised due to some abnormalities such as excessive long umbilical cord, and though they usually end up with a healthy baby, they may lead to severe ...

Case Report: Preserved umbilical cords underscore family histories of inborn errors of immunity

Frontiers in Immunology
A history of susceptibility to infections and a family history of death because of unexplained infections during infancy are helpful in diagnosing inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). However, infections can occur because of various reasons, and determining
