Placental Adaptations in Growth Restriction

The placenta is the primary interface between the fetus and mother and plays an important role in maintaining fetal development and growth by facilitating the transfer of substrates and participating in modulating the maternal immune response to prevent immunological rejection of the conceptus. The major substrates required for fetal growth include oxygen, glucose, amino acids and fatty acids, ...

Growth-inhibiting conditions slow growth plate senescence.

The mammalian growth plate undergoes programmed senescence during juvenile life, causing skeletal growth to slow with age. We previously found that hypothyroidism in rats slowed both growth plate chondrocyte proliferation and growth plate senescence, suggesting that senescence is not dependent on age per se but rather on chondrocyte proliferation. However, one alternative explanation is that th...

Slow decorrelations in KPZ growth

For stochastic growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class in 1 + 1 dimensions, fluctuations grow as t1/3 during time t and the correlation length at a fixed time scales as t2/3. In this note we discuss the scale of time correlations. It turns out that the spacetime is non-trivially fibred, having slow directions with decorrelation exponent equal to 1 instead of the usual 2/3. These di...

Emergence of population growth models: fast migration and slow growth.

We present aggregation and emergence methods in large-scale dynamical systems with different timescales. Aggregation corresponds to the reduction of the dimension of a dynamical system which is replaced by a smaller model for a small number of global variables at a slow timescale. We study the couplings between fast and slow dynamics leading to the emergence of global properties in the aggregat...
