The endothelium makes up the innermost cell layer of blood vessels. It consists of a thin layer of simple squamous cells, forming an interface between circulating blood and the surrounding tissue. Endothelial cells of different vascular beds are specialized according to tissue-specific functions. For this project emphasis was placed upon high-resolution methods enabling the study of liver sinusoidal ...

Antibodies against human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a are the most common cause of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in Caucasians, and is a break of the tolerance normally seen for the fetus in pregnant women. The initiation of immunization is suggested to be feto-maternal transfer of platelets during pregnancy and at delivery, and one of the consequences of anti-HPA-1a antibodies ...

<p><i>Background - </i>Birth weight is an important indicator for predicting newborn baby’s health. Particular toxic elements: lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) have ability to cross the transplacental barrier and effect the fetal growth and development. These toxic elements exposure during pregnancy have been associated with negative birth outcomes like low birth weight (LBW). ...

The annual photoperiod cycle provides the critical environmental cue synchronizing rhythms of life in seasonal habitats. In 1936, Bünning proposed a circadian-based coincidence timer for photoperiodic synchronization in plants. Formal studies support the universality of this so-called coincidence timer, but we lack understanding of the mechanisms involved. Here we show in mammals that long photoperiods ...
