Poor maternal nutrition causes intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR); however, its effects on fetal cardiac development are unclear. We have developed a baboon model of moderate maternal undernutrition, leading to IUGR. We hypothesized that the IUGR affects fetal cardiac structure and metabolism. S...

Hormones play critical roles in facilitating pregnancy progression and the onset of parturition. Several classes of environmental contaminants, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ambient temperature, have been shown to alter hormone biosynthesis or activity. However, epidemiolo...

Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading global cause of infant mortality. Risk factors include genetics, lifestyle choices and infection. Understanding the mechanism of PTB could aid the development of novel approaches to prevent PTB. This study aimed to investigate the metabolic biomarkers of PTB in early...

The transition from the non-maternal to the maternal state is characterized by a variety of CNS alterations that support the care of offspring. The septum (including lateral and medial portions) is a brain region previously linked to various emotional and motivational processes, including maternal c...

Maternal exposure to estrogens can induce long-term adverse effects in the offspring. This may be mediated through alterations in the endometrium affecting embryo-maternal communication as early as the preimplantational phase. Thus, we analyzed the effects of gestational estradiol-17β (E2) exposure ...

The endemic of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the imperative to elucidate its effects on pregnancy, particularly regarding the potential for vertical transmission and its influence on the early maternal-fetal interface, which remain insufficiently defined. To address this, we performed an extensive cohor...

Comparison of DNA methylation levels of chromosome 18 between placentas and blood cells of pregnant women Extracted DNA from 5 cases of placental tissues and 5 cases of maternal blood cell was subjected to MeDIP (methylated DNA immunoprecipitation) and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Tiling...

While accumulating evidence links maternal PM2.5 exposure to offspring neurodevelopmental impairments, yet the underlying biological pathways require further elucidation. To address this, female ICR mice are exposed to filtered air (FA) or concentrated ambient particulate matter (CAP) for three ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to have important functions in a variety of cellular processes. Here we report on miRNA expression and their dynamic regulation during mouse oogenesis and early embryos. We show that following specific deletion of Dicer from growing oocytes, the mutant oocytes ceas...

The postnatal development of the mouse is characterized by a stress hyporesponsive period (SHRP), where basal corticosterone levels are low and responsiveness to mild stressors is reduced. Maternal separation is able to disrupt the SHRP and is widely used to model early trauma. In this study we aime...
