Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors by DNA Methylation in Human Gestational Tissues
… transcriptional profile in the placenta and fetal membranes is a necessary requirement for the successful completion of pregnancy since any aberrant variations may lead to the inappropriate timing of birth. Epigenetic regulation through reversible modification of chromatin has emerged as a …

Maintenance of fetal membrane integrity by cyclic cellular transitions during gestation and parturition
Fetal membranes line the intra-uterine cavity and perform protective functions during pregnancy. Rupture of membranes before term is deemed ‘catastrophic’ and contributes to infection, preterm birth, and neonatal death. During gestation, membranes repair and remodel through a balanced …

Feto-Maternal Exosome Characterization, Trafficking and Function During Pregnancy and Parturition
Endocrine factors and signals of fetal organ maturation are well-reported determinants of the timing of birth and have been studied extensively in both humans and animal models. However, decades of research have not yielded answers to the timing of labor. It is evident that endocrine factors alone …

Functional role of GSK3β in p38MAPK mediated human amnion membrane senescence
… protein kinase (p38MAPK) activation and fetal membrane senescence are associated with parturition. Our study determined changes in multipotent pro-cell cycle regulator glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β and its regulation by p38MAPK in effecting senescence to further delineate the …

Monitoring and improving reproductive performance of crossbred dairy cattle in Tigray Region, Ethiopia
… Anestrus, repeat-breeding, dystocia, retained fetal membranes (RFM), endometritis and abortion as the major reproductive problems in dairy cattle in the study area. Serum, milk, saliva and urine P4 and serum estradiol profiles of cattle at different reproductive status was determined using …

Impact of early postpartum uterine disease (metritis) on the functional regeneration of endometrial glands in lactating dairy cows
… periparturient disorders (i.e. retention of fetal membranes; dystocia; vulvovaginal lacerations) (Vergara et al., 2014; Vieira-Neto et al., 2016). Caused by the dysbiosis of pathogenic bacteria within the postpartum uterus (i.e. Fusobacterium necrophorum; Bacteroides spp.; T. pyogenes), …
