Pregnancy associated progenitor cells migrate, integrate and contribute to maternal hematopoietic compartments in the murine model
… Progenitor Cells (PAPCs) and their presence in maternal tissues is known as fetomaternal microchimerism (FMM). FMM has been studied in mammalian animal model systems and PAPCs exhibited multilineage differentiation potential based on their ability to integrate and contribute to multiple maternal …

Initiation of Implantation and Decidualization in the Inbred Mouse.
Intimate contact between embryonic and maternal tissues is sine qua non for uterine development in eutherian mammals, since these species shed microlecithal eggs. The stores of nutrients (i.e. yolk) are so scanty in such an egg that independent development beyond the earliest stages cannot be …

Congenital Chagas Murine Model Development and Nanovaccine Efficacy Against Maternal-fetal Trypanosoma cruzi Pathogenesis
Maternal infection with Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) parasite can lead to the vertical transmission from mother to fetus known as congenital Chagas’ disease (cCD). The objective was to develop a murine model of cCD to test the efficacy of a DNA nanovaccine developed by our laboratory. In this …

The Development of Certain Enzymes and Iso-Enzymes During Normal Pregnancy
During normal human pregnancy the maternal serum activity of carboxypeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, alanine aminopeptidase, cystine aminopeptidase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase, n-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, n-acetyl-β-galactosaminidase and …

IRON OVERLOAD AND BIRTH DEFECTS
… in rats and rabbits to identify possible maternal, placental and foetal sites of action. Maternal toxicity, manifested by bodyweight depression, abortion and total litter loss, was evident in the rat (>700 mg Fe kg‘\ Day 8 of gestation) and in the rabbit (>50 mg Fe kg ’. Day 16 of …

Feto-Maternal Exosome Characterization, Trafficking and Function During Pregnancy and Parturition
… and are attributed by senescence-associated feto-maternal signaling via exosomes. Oxidative stress in utero, most likely due to increased metabolic activity of the fetus, induces cellular senescence of the fetal membranes. We have reproduced this model in vitro to show human amnion epithelial …

Maternal Immunomodulation of Neonatal Alloantigen Response
… recipient, and the donor with the non-inherited maternal antigens to which the recipient was exposed during gestation. This was accomplished in several ways, including analysis of a) phenotypes of donor and recipient serum-defined class I and II major histocompatibility antigens, b) mismatched …

Epidemiology of and resistance to kernel infection of sweet corn by Fusarium moniliforme
… of resistant x susceptible inbreds, a strong maternal influence on resistance to kernel infection by F. moniliforme was observed. The observed response was attributed to factors operative in the maternal tissues, e.g., the silk, pericarp, or placento-chalazal region. The genotype of the …

Chemical evidence of the quantitative thiamine and riboflavin requirements of the rat during pregnancy and the development of the fetus
… riboflavin in the developing fetal and placental tissues at several intervals during pregnancy, has revealed a very rapid increase in the requirement for this factor during the last four days of pregnancy. Prior to this time, and in fact for the majority of the reproductive cycle, the full-grown …

Functional Characterization of Metallothioneins in Arabidopsis and Barley
… which are highly expressed in vascular tissues, had similar dramatic changes in Cu accumulation in leaves and seeds, suggesting that MTs expressed in vasculature are critical for metal distribution in leaf and seed tissues.</p> <p>In wild type leaves, the concentration of Cu declined as …

Advanced Studies in Veterinary Anatomy: Angiogenesis in Caprine Reproductive Organs of Non-Pregnant and Pregnant Normal and Swainsonine-Treated Does
… reproductive organs are among the few adult tissues in which periodic angiogenesis normally occurs. Pathological angiogenesis can occur in various conditions, such as solid tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling often represents a critical rate-limiting step in …

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE STRATEGIES FOR ENDOMETRITIS IN REPRODUCTIVE MARES:IN VITRO AND IN VIVO STUDIES
… endometritis is believed also to impair fetal-maternal communication. Since conventional therapies often fail to achieve a resolutive endometrial regeneration, this project aimed at identifying novel alternative approaches based on the employment of secretome (conditioned medium: CM) and …
