Various source-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with multipotent capabilities were considered for cell therapeutics of incurable diseases. The applicability of MSCs depends on the cellular source and on their different in vivo functions, despite having similar phenotypic and cytological characteristics. We characterized MSCs from different sou...

Objectives: We aimed to assess the prevalence of uterine rupture in Belgium and to evaluate risk factors, management and outcomes for mother and child. Design: Nationwide population-based prospective cohort study. Setting: Emergency obstetric care. Participation of 97% of maternity units covering 98.6% of the deliveries in Belgium. Participants: Al...

The serotonin receptor 5-HT2A (encoded by HTR2A) is an important regulator of fetal brain development and adult cognitive function. Environmental signals that induce epigenetic changes of serotonin response genes, including HTR2A, have been implicated in adverse mental health outcomes. The objective of this perspective article is to address the med...
Molecular genotyping allows definitive diagnosis of PHM for cases in which specialist histopathology review remains equivocal. While this approach provides definite diagnosis it is considerably more expensive than a pragmatic management approach of human chorionic gonadotrophin surveillance in all such cases.

Caviomorph development includes an inverted yolk sac. Since principle processes are not understood, we investigated its differentiation in Galen and re-examined material from the guinea pig. Galea showed the typical caviomorph conditions in blastocyst development and the nature of the definitive yolk sac, formed of the visceral layer that became vi...
