Association between gestational age and bovine fetal characteristics measured by transcutaneous ultrasound over the right flank of the dairy cow.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine bovine fetal characteristics significantly associated with increasing gestational age as measured via transcutaneous ultrasonography over the right flank. METHODS: The length of gestation at date of pregnancy diagnosis via ... Read more...

Pleiotrophin regulates lung epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation during fetal lung development via beta-catenin and Dlk1.

4 Aug 2009 The role of pleiotrophin in fetal lung development was investigated. We found that pleiotrophin and its receptor, protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor beta/zeta, were highly expressed in mesenchymal and epithelial cells of the fetal lungs, ... Read more...

Organ and gestational age effects of maternal nutrient restriction on global methylation in fetal baboons.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: A sub-optimal intrauterine environment alters the trajectory of fetal development with profound effects on life-time health. Altered methylation, a proposed epigenetic mechanism responsible for these changes, has been studied in ... Read more...
