BACKGROUND The function of the gestational sac (GS) and the placenta in the closely
related processes of embryogenesis and teratogenicity in the first trimester has been …

Introduction Research on human placental development and function lacks a conclusive in
vivo model. To investigate the intracellular molecular mechanisms in trophoblast cells …

Pregnant sheep have been used to model complications of human pregnancies including
placental insufficiency and intrauterine growth restriction. Some of the hallmarks of placental …

Inadequate fetal growth cannot be remedied postnatally, leading to severe consequences
for neonatal and adult development. It is hypothesized that growth restriction occurs due to …

Placental hypoxia can stimulate oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction reducing
placental efficiency and inducing fetal growth restriction (FGR). We hypothesized that …

Normalization with proper reference genes is a crucial step in obtaining accurate mRNA
expression levels in RT-qPCR experiments. GeNorm and NormFinder are two commonly …

This study aimed to characterize histological changes of the maternal-conceptus interface in
feto-placental units associated with fetal weight and sex throughout pregnancy. Pregnant …

Introduction Inadequate fetal growth has severe consequences for both neonatal and adult
development. It is hypothesised that the feto-maternal interface associated with the lightest …

Variations in placental efficiency (PE), a measure of grams of fetus produced per gram of
placenta, were initially researched between swine breeds, where increased PE was …
