Evidence is emerging that the ability of the placenta to supply nutrients to the developing fetus adapts according to fetal demand. To examine this adaptation further, we tested the hypothesis that placental maternofetal transport of calcium adapts according to fetal calcium requirements. We used a mouse model of fetal growth restriction, the placental-specific Igf2 knockout (P0) mouse, shown p...

The anterior pituitary is comprised of five major hormone-secreting cell types that differentiate during embryonic development in a temporally distinct manner. Microarrays containing 5,128 unique cDNAs expressed in the chicken neuroendocrine system were produced and used to identify genes with potential involvement in the onset of thyroid-stimulating hormone beta-subunit (TSHbeta), growth hormo...

Developmental expression of ion channels possibly participating in regulatory volume decrease was studied in rat embryonic ( day E17) and perinatal ( days P1-6) ureteric bud and in postnatal ( P9-14) cortical collecting duct cells in primary monolayer culture. In isotonic bath solution, whole cell conductance (in nS/10 pF) was highest in E17 (4.0 ± 0.5, n = 31) compared with P1-6 (2.0 ± 0.1, n ...

Short-survival, sequential, and long-survival thymidine radiograms of rat embryos, fetuses, and young pups were analyzed in order to examine the time of origin, settling pattern, and neuroepithelial site of origin of the anterior thalamic nuclei--the lateral dorsal (lateral anterior), anterodorsal, anteroventral and anteromedial nuclei--and of two rostral midline structures--the anterior parave...

Monolayers of control 3T3 fibroblasts and 3T3 cells expressing transfected NCAM or N-cadherin have been used as a culture substratum for rat hippocampal neurons. Both NCAM and N-cadherin are expressed in the hippocampus through embryonic day 17 (E17) to postnatal day 4 (PND4); however, whereas E17 neurons responded to transfected NCAM by extending considerably longer neurites, PND4 neurons resp...
