Endocannabinoid signaling impairs syncytialization: Using flow cytometry to evaluate forskolin-induced cell fusion
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2021-01)
Cytotrophoblast cells fuse to form the syncytiotrophoblast, the main structure responsible for the placenta's specialized functions. This complex process denominated syncytialization is fundamental for a correct pregnancy ...
Placentation in the capybara (Hydrochaerus hydrochaeris), agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) and paca (Agouti paca)
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2002-05-01)
Placentae of three hystricimorph rodents-capybara, agouti and paca-were examined by conventional histology, immunohistochemistry for cytokeratin and vimentin, and TUNEL staining. The placentae were divided into lobules of ...
Expression of HLA-E molecules in the placental tissue of women infected with HIV-1 and uninfected women
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2017-01-01)
Introduction: Expression of HLA-E molecule in the placental extravillous trophoblast is associated with immune system cell inhibition, resulting in immune tolerance to fetus during pregnancy. HIV-1 can infect trophoblast ...
Prediction of Non-canonical Routes for SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Human Placenta Cells
(2021-11-08)
The SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The data available about COVID-19 during pregnancy have demonstrated placental infection; however, the mechanisms associated with intrauterine transmission ...
Oxidative damage to pre-eclamptic placenta: Immunohistochemical expression of VEGF, nitrotyrosine residues and von Willebrand factor
(2012)
Objective: To determine the relationship of biomarkers of placental damage by oxidative stress in pre-eclamptic placenta. Methods: A case-control study was performed on a population of 14 pregnant women with PE and 12 women ...
Trypanosoma cruzi induces tissue disorganization and destruction of chorionic villi in an ex vivo infection model of human placenta
(Elsevier, 2010)
Congenital Chagas’ disease, endemic in Latin America and also present with lower frequency in other
countries, is associated with premature labor, miscarriage, and placentitis. The mechanism of tissue
invasion and infection ...
Differential expression of potassium channels in placentas from normal and pathological pregnancies: Targeting of the K ir 2.1 channel to lipid rafts
(2012)
Potassium channels play important physiological roles in human syncytiotrophoblasts (hSTBs) from placenta, an epithelium responsible for maternal-fetal exchange. Basal and apical plasma membranes differ in their lipid and ...
Morphometric and morphological characteristics of the placenta at term, in small for gestational age newborns (SGA) in the city of Temuco-Chile Características morfológicas y morfométricas de la placenta de término, en recién nacidos pequeños para la edad
(2008)
The placental metabolism, the exchange of substances and the production of hormones are vital functions of the placenta to maintain and promote the normal development of the fetus. There are risk factors that disrupt this ...
Pathogenic effects of maternal antinuclear antibodies during pregnancy in women with lupus
(PAGEPress, 2014)
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects young women of childbearing
age. Fertility rates in lupus patients depend on various factors, including disease activity,
nephritis, and the presence of antiphospholipid ...
