Umbilical vein constriction at the umbilical ring: a longitudinal study [PDF]
Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006 AbstractObjectiveIt has been suggested that constriction of the umbilical vein (UV) at the umbilical ring has hemodynamic effects. We aimed to determine the occurrence and extent of such constriction in serial observations.MethodsThis was a prospective longitudinal study of UV velocities at the umbilicus measured at approximately 4‐week intervals ...

Adaptive induction of growth differentiation factor 15 attenuates endothelial cell apoptosis in response to high glucose stimulus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a direct target gene of p53, is a multifunctional member of the TGF-β/BMP superfamily. GDF15 can be induced and is implicated as a key secretory cytokine in response to multiple cellular stimuli.
