General developmental health in the VPA-rat model of autism

Henry Markram, Georges Khazen, Kamila Markram, Mônica Regina Favre

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition diagnosed by impaired social interaction, abnormal communication and, stereotyped behaviors. While post-mortem and imaging studies have provided good insights into the neurobiological symptomology of autism, animal ...

Does Cancer Start in the Womb? Altered Mammary Gland Development and Predisposition to Breast Cancer due to in Utero Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors

Cathrin Brisken

We are now witnessing a resurgence of theories of development and carcinogenesis in which the environment is again being accepted as a major player in phenotype determination. Perturbations in the fetal environment predispose an individual to disease that ...

Rapid Intrahost Evolution of Human Cytomegalovirus Is Shaped by Demography and Positive Selection

Jeffrey David Jensen

Populations of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a large DNA virus, are highly polymorphic in patient samples, which may allow for rapid evolution within human hosts. To understand HCMV evolution, longitudinally sampled genomic populations from the urine and p ...

Prenatally engineered autologous amniotic fluid stem cell-based heart valves in the fetal circulation

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni, Markus Rudin, Chad Brokopp, Marc Farine

Prenatal heart valve interventions aiming at the early and systematic correction of congenital cardiac malformations represent a promising treatment option in maternal-fetal care. However, definite fetal valve replacements require growing implants adaptive ...

Mercury is a direct and potent γ-secretase inhibitor affecting Notch processing and development in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Patrick Fraering, Mitko Dimitrov, Takayuki Kuraishi, Isabelle Chang

Prenatal exposure to mercury causes neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological pathologies in infants, such as microcephaly and mental retardation. Despite critical importance, the molecular interactions leading to mercury toxicity are yet to be elucida ...

The normal mechanisms of pregnancy-induced liver growth are not maintained in mice lacking the bile acid sensor Fxr

Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki

Milona A, Owen BM, van Mil S, Dormann D, Mataki C, Boudjelal M, Cairns W, Schoonjans K, Milligan S, Parker M, White R, Williamson C. The normal mechanisms of pregnancy-induced liver growth are not maintained in mice lacking the bile acid sensor Fxr. Am J P ...

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 ...

Role of canonical Wnt signaling in mammary gland development

Renuga Devi Rajaram

The female reproductive hormones estrogens, progesterone, and prolactin control postnatal breast development and are important to breast carcinogenesis. In particular, exposure to progesterone is tightly linked to breast cancer risk. Using the mouse as a m ...

An assessment of ductus venosus tapering and wave transmission from the fetal heart

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pressure and flow pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus (DV) but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein (UV). Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in p ...

An in vivo culture system for human embryos using an encapsulation technology: a pilot study

Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche

ACKGROUND: Animal studies have demonstrated better embryo development in vivo than in vitro. This pilot study tested the feasibility of using a novel in utero culture system (IUCS) to obtain normal human fertilization and embryo development. METHODS: The I ...
