Micronutrient programming of development throughout gestation

Fetal foot length throughout gestation: a nomogram

Objective: There are certain situations in obstetric ultrasound such as hydrocephalus, anencephaly, short limb dysplasia, where traditional biometric values cannot be used to assess gestational age. In these situations, we have to use other parameters for the accurate assessment of gestational age. One of the useful parameters is foetal foot length because it is easily accessed and measured eas...

Autophagy in the Human Placenta throughout Gestation

BACKGROUND Autophagy has been reported to be essential for pre-implantation development and embryo survival. However, its role in placental development and regulation of autophagy during pregnancy remain unclear. The aims of this study were to (1) study autophagy by characterizing changes in levels of beclin-1, DRAM, and LC3B in human placenta throughout gestation; (2) determine whether autopha...

Tracing cells throughout development

I the article “Predetermined embryonic glial cells form the distinct glial sheaths of the Drosophila peripheral nervous system” we combined our expertise to identify glial cells of the embryonic peripheral nervous system on a single cell resolution with the possibility to genetically label cells using Flybow. We show that all 12 embryonic peripheral glial cells (ePG) per abdominal hemisegment p...

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...
