Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare birth defect characterized by incomplete
closure of the diaphragm and herniation of fetal abdominal organs into the chest that results …

Abstract Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a complex developmental abnormality
characterized by abnormal lung development, a diaphragmatic defect and cardiac …

Since the first evidence that stem cells can provide pro-resolving effects via paracrine
secretion of soluble factors, growing interest has been addressed to define the most ideal …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) represents a developmental anomaly that
profoundly impacts the embryonic development of both the respiratory and cardiovascular …

Background We previously demonstrated that the human amniotic fluid (hAF) from II
trimester of gestation is a feasible source of stromal progenitors (human amniotic fluid stem …

Epigenetic regulators such as microRNAs (miRNAs) have a key role in modulating several
gene expression pathways and have a role both in lung development and function. One of …

Disruption of developmental processes affecting the fetal lung leads to pulmonary
hypoplasia. Pulmonary hypoplasia results from several conditions including congenital …

This review aims to encapsulate the current knowledge in extracellular vesicles extracted
from amniotic fluid and amniotic fluid derived stem/stromal cells. Amniotic fluid (AF) bathes …

Pregnancy is characterized by a delicate immune balance; therefore, infectious diseases
might increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). Here, we hypothesize that …

Cleft palate (CP) is a common congenital birth defect. Cellular and morphological processes
change dynamically during palatogenesis, and any disturbance in this process could result …
