Repeated phylogeny on the ontogeny of Silvertip shark Carcharhinus albimarginatus fetuses. Morphological discussions from Evo-Devo perspectives.
Objectives: Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) display a wide variety of reproductive modes. Silvertip shark Carcharhinus albimarginatus belongs to a group of placental viviparity. Fetuses in this group is connected to the external yolk sac by the yolk stalk in the early stage of development. After terminal differentiation of Yolk sacs into the placentae, the yolk stalks make remarkable metamorphosis in their internal structure and differentiated into elongated umbilical cord. However this process is not so far examined. (Source: Placenta)

The patho-mechanism of incarceration of the gravid uterus; the pelvic structure and the placental position. A two-case report and review of literature.
Incarceration of the gravid uterus describes an extremely rare situation where a retroverted or retroflexed gravid uterus fails to ascend into the abdominal cavity. This is an uncommon presentation and is said to occur in 0.3% of pregnancies. If the placenta is located in the fundus of an incarcerated uterus and the physician is unaware of this obstetric disorder, the ultrasound and/or MRI findings may be misinterpreted as a placenta previa. Although the causes of the incarcerated gravid uterus were unknown, here we investigate the involvement of the pelvic structure and placental site to the patho-mechanism of incarcerati...

Proton Pump Inhibitors Quench the Pathophysiological Characteristics of Preeclampsia in Both Human and Mouse Models and Represent an Exciting Novel Candidate Therapeutic
Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy. Two of the major pathophysiological aspects are 1) the release of sFlt-1 and sEng and 2) maternal endothelial dysfunction leading to hypertension and major end organ damage. (Source: Placenta)

Sonic hedgehog pathway regulates IGF1R expression in placenta
Objective: We previously reported that Sonic hedgehog(=Shh) pathway was involved in preeclamptic placentas. The aim of this study is to elucidate the association between Shh pathway and placental growth factor(=PlGF) in placenta. (Source: Placenta)

The medical application of the studies using transposon
Transposons are nucleotide sequences capable of transposition within the genome in a cell. They are also called jumping genes or transposable elements and are classified into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)[A1] transposons, in which DNA fragments transpose directly, and ribonucleic acid (RNA) transposons, retrotransposons[A2] , which undergo transposition and reverse transcription. Transposition of a DNA transposon requires a transposition enzyme called transposase, which is encoded by the transposon itself. (Source: Placenta)

Role of nucleoside transporters in transplacental pharmacokinetics of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors zidovudine and emtricitabine
Zidovudine (AZT) and emtricitabine (FTC) are effective and well tolerated antiretroviral drugs, routinely used in the prevention of perinatal HIV transmission. However, precise mechanism(s) involved in their transfer from mother to fetus are not fully elucidated. Since both drugs are nucleoside analogues, we hypothesized that the mechanisms of their transplacental passage might include equilibrative nucleoside transporters, ENT1 and/or ENT2.
