The role of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1)-dependent pathway in the regulation of uterine function during early pregnancy
During implantation, uterine stromal cells differentiate into specialized decidual cells, which become secretory and support the growth of the embryo before placentation. At the same time, new blood vessels begin to form in the maternal decidua from pre-existing vasculature. This process termed …

Analysis of the Role of the Transcription Factor C/EBPbeta in Controlling Uterine Functions During Early Pregnancy
… their cognate receptors, is essential for uterine functions during pregnancy. The molecular mechanisms that control the process of implantation are undergoing active exploration. Through our recent efforts, we identified the transcription factor, CCAAT Enhancer Binding Protein Beta …

The impact of advanced maternal age on endometrial differentiation and placental development
… contributor to the decline in endometrial function. My results indicate that ageing of the uterus displays some of the common epigenetic hallmarks of tissue ageing. However, more importantly, decidual cells of aged females exhibit abnormal distributions of the histone modification H3K4me3, …

Multigenerational effects of abnormal folate metabolism on embryo growth and development
… and have been attributed to an atypical uterine environment in the wildtype F1 generation as determined by a blastocyst transfer experiment. This thesis aims to examine how the Mtrrgt mutation influences uterine biology and fetoplacental growth. First, the effects of intrinsic and …

An investigation into placental protein 14, a modulator of the immune response associated with human reproduction.
… PP14.PP14 was measured by radioimmunoassay in uterine flushings from fertile women, women with unexplained infertility and women suffering from recurrent miscarriages, and in plasma samples from fertile and infertile women. The results from the uterine flushings from fertile women showed that …

The effects of environmentally relevant toxicants on female reproduction and embryo development
… they been shown to impair normal reproduction function in males and females. However, studies have primarily focused on male reproduction. Studies have shown that phthalates are detected in both female reproductive organs and fluids. Measurable amounts of phthalates are present in human blood, …
