چکیده
Classical gene targeting has identified many genes important for fetal and placental development. Null mutation of these genes may lead to fetal growth restriction, malformation or embryonic death. Growth restriction of epigenetic basis can predispose to adult-onset diseases. The mechanisms underlying this process, termed 'fetal programming', are beginning to be understood.

Evaluation of Placentalmir-155-5p and Long Non-coding RNA sONE Expression in Patients with Severe Pre-eclampsia
It has been well documented that preeclampsia (PE) has a common etiological background, but little is known about its linkage at the molecular level.Non- coding RNAs are critical posttranscriptional regulators ofgene expression. This study was performed to determine whether PEis associated with alterations in placental non-codingRNAs expression. MicroRNA(miR)-155-5p and long non-coding RN...
متن کاملDoes the Biological Response to Fetal Hypoxia Involve Angiogenesis, Placental Enlargement and Preeclampsia?
From an evolutionary point of view, an overriding biological priority is to ensure offspring survival. Oxygen is essential for the growing fetus, and during pregnancy the fetus has an increasing demand for oxygen. If the oxygen supply to the fetus is threatened, it is likely that compensatory mechanisms are activated. Impaired development of the placenta in early pregnancy is assumed to be the ...
متن کاملEndocrine regulation of feto-placental growth.
Hormones are both growth stimulatory and growth inhibitory in utero. They regulate tissue growth and development by controlling the rates of cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation in many fetal tissues. They also signal the level of resources available for intrauterine growth to the fetal tissues and relay back to the placenta the degree of mismatch between the actual fetal nutrient ...
متن کاملGestational Dietary Protein Is Associated with Sex Specific Decrease in Blood Flow, Fetal Heart Growth and Post-Natal Blood Pressure of Progeny
STUDY OVERVIEW The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes is higher in pregnancies where the fetus is male. Sex specific differences in feto-placental perfusion indices identified by Doppler assessment have recently been associated with placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction. This study aims to investigate sex specific differences in placental perfusion and to correlate these cha...

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare benign placental abnormality. It is characterized by hydropic degeneration of stem villi, placentomegaly, and increased maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP). It can be associated with different congenital abnormalities, karyotype abnormalities, and feto-maternal morbidities. It is difficult to differentiate PMDfrom partial mole, complete mole wit...
