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 ...

Transcriptomic regulations in oligodendroglial and microglial cells related to brain damage following fetal growth restriction

Yohan Van de Looij, Maxime Olivier Baud

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major complication of human pregnancy, frequently resulting from placental vascular diseases and prenatal malnutrition, and is associated with adverse neurocognitive outcomes throughout life. However, the mechanisms link ...

Connectomics across development

Elda Fischi Gomez

The brain is probably the most complex system of the human body, composed of numerous neural units interconnected at dierent scales. This highly structured architecture provides the ability to communicate, synthesize information and perform the analytical ...

Extreme prematurity and intra uterine growth restriction effects in brain network topology at school age

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, François Lazeyras

Higher risk for long-term behavioral and emotional sequelae, with attentional problems (with or without hyperactivity) is now becoming one of the hallmarks of extreme premature (EP) birth and birth after pregancy conditions leading to poor intra uterine gr ...

The role of PPAR-gamma/RXR-alpha heterodimers in the regulation of human trophoblast invasion

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

PPAR-gamma/RXR heterodimers play a key regulatory role in murine placental development. We report here that PPAR-gamma and RXR-alpha are highly expressed in cultured primary extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVCT) isolated from human first-trimester placenta. ...

PPARgamma/RXRalpha heterodimers control human trophoblast invasion

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

The ligand-dependent nuclear receptors PPARgamma and RXRalpha/beta were recently determined to be essential for murine placental development and trophoblast differentiation. In the current study we examined the expression and role of the PPARgamma/RXRalpha ...

A high yield affinity purification method for specific RNA-binding proteins: isolation of the iron regulatory factor from human placenta

Lukas Kühn

We describe a simple method for the affinity purification of specific RNA-binding proteins. DNA sequences corresponding to the protein-binding site of the RNA are subcloned into an in vitro transcription vector between the T7 viral promoter and a poly(A) t ...
