Fighting preterm birth with novel surgical tools and biomaterials engineering

With advances in fetal diagnosis and therapy, fetoscopy has become a good option to treat a series of life threatening diseases like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The efficacy of fetoscopy for those types of d ...

Tissue engineering for prenatal applications

Anna-Sofia Johanna Kiveliö

Fetal therapies have become available for a restricted number of life-threatening clinical conditions. Harnessing tissue engineering for prenatal applications has not been widely pursued even though isolating cells from fetal and extraembryonic tissues has ...

Expansion of a VE-Cadherin+CD45+ population in the yolk sac upon Etv2 overexpression in the mouse embryo - Effects of BMP and Wnt signaling inhibition on the differentiation of a Flk1+ extraembryonic mesoderm in vitro model

Matteo Pluchinotta

The difficulty to find compatible donors for bone marrow transplantation makes the need for an alternative source of HSCs urgent. HSC derived from patient-specific iPS cells are ideal candidates for this purpose. Nevertheless, although HSCs are the best ch ...

Quantitative morphometry analysis of the fetal brain using clinical MR imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer, Gabriele Vincenzo Bonanno

In vivo fetal magnetic resonance imaging provides a unique approach for the study of early human brain development [1]. In utero cerebral morphometry could potentially be used as a marker of the cerebral maturation and help to distinguish between normal an ...

A post-processing pipeline to reconstruct the developing fetal brain using low-resolution MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Marie Schaer

Introduction. Development of the fetal brain surface with concomitant gyrification is one of the major maturational processes of the human brain. First delineated by postmortem studies or by ultrasound, MRI has recently become a powerful tool for studying ...

Vascular effects induced by anti-VEGF agents in the CAM model: Effect of the DMSO

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The chicken embryo's chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is widely used as an in vivo model to study the vascular effects induced by agents administrated topically or intravenously. Hence, in the vascular plexus of this respiratory membrane, angiogenic and anti ...

Essential role of endothelial Notch1 in angiogenesis

Freddy Radtke

BACKGROUND: Notch signaling influences binary cell fate decisions in a variety of tissues. The Notch1 receptor is widely expressed during embryogenesis and is essential for embryonic development. Loss of global Notch1 function results in early embryonic le ...

Immunocytochemical expression of monocarboxylate transporters in the human visual cortex at midgestation

Pierre Magistretti, Maxime Olivier Baud, Luc Pellerin

Lactate and the other monocarboxylates are a major energy source for the developing brain. We investigated the immunocytochemical expression of two monocarboxylate transporters, MCT1 and MCT2, in the human visual cortex between 13 and 26 post-ovulatory wee ...

Molecular characterization of the human interferon-gamma receptor: analysis of polymorphism and glycosylation

Michel Aguet

Different molecular masses have been assigned to the human interferon-gamma receptor (HuIFN-gamma-R) by several authors. After extensive purification from Raji cells, this receptor was shown in a previous work to consist of two major protein species with m ...
