Definition of 'Fetus'The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after CONCEPTION until BIRTH, as distinguished from the earlier EMBRYO, MAMMALIAN.

BACKGROUND: A clonal cell line that combines both stable hepatic function and proliferation capacity is desirable for in vitro applications that depend on hepatic function, such as pharmacological or toxicological assays and bioartificial liver ... Read more...
The phenotypic spectrum of trisomy 2: report of two new cases.
29 Sep 2009 We describe two cases of trisomy 2. The first case is a child with mosaic trisomy 2 who presented with mental retardation, multiple congenital anomalies, and dysmorphic findings similar to Pallister-Killian syndrome. The second case was an acardiac ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 To improve bone regeneration around orthopedic biomaterials, researchers have attempted to combine growth factors on and in implants. Equally as exciting, greater bone growth has been demonstrated around nanoscaled materials (like helical rosette ... Read more...
