How we are born

Author(s) : Dey, Sudhansu K.
Description : Human reproduction is relatively inefficient. Nearly 30% of pregnancies result in spontaneous losses, which are both a clinical problem and a psychological stress to the families involved. Furthermore, although the human population is growing rapidly and is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050, 15% ...

In Pursuit of Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G Protein-Coupled Receptor-5 Regulation and Function in the Uterus

Description : Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor (LGR)-5 is a recently identified marker of stem cells in adult intestinal epithelium and hair follicles. Because of this characteristic, we studied the status of Lgr5 expression in the mouse uterus under various conditions. Lgr5 is highly exp...

Endocannabinoid signaling directs periimplantation events

Description : An emerging concept in female reproduction is the role of endocannabinoids, a group of endogenously produced lipid mediators that bind to and activate cannabinoid receptors. Although adverse effects of cannabinoids in female reproduction have been implicated for years, the mechanisms by which they e...

MicroRNA regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 during embryo implantation

Description : The implantation process is complex, requiring reciprocal interactions between implantation-competent blastocysts and the receptive uterus. Because microRNAs (miRNAs) have major roles in regulating gene expression, we speculated that they participate in directing the highly regulated spatiotemporall...

Heightened uterine mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling provokes preterm birth in mice

Description : Although preterm delivery is a major global health issue, its causes and underlying mechanism remain elusive. Using mutant mice, mimicking aspects of human preterm birth, we show here that uterine decidual senescence early in pregnancy via heightened mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) ...

Coordinated regulation of fetal and maternal prostaglandins directs successful birth and postnatal adaptation in the mouse

Description : Cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived prostaglandins (PGs) regulate numerous maternal–fetal interactions during pregnancy. PGs stimulate uterine contractions and prepare the cervix for parturition, whereas in the fetus, PGs maintain patency of the ductus arteriosus (DA), a vascular shunt that transmits oxyge...

Estrogen is a critical determinant that specifies the duration of the window of uterine receptivity for implantation

Description : Many underlying causes of human infertility have been overcome by using in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) techniques. Nevertheless, implantation rates in IVF programs remain low despite the transfer of apparently healthy embryos. This suggests that there are problems with the dif...

Differential G protein-coupled cannabinoid receptor signaling by anandamide directs blastocyst activation for implantation

Description : Mammalian fertility absolutely depends on synchronized development of the blastocyst to the stage when it is competent to implant, and the uterus to the stage when it is receptive to implantation. However, the molecular basis for the reciprocal interaction between the embryo and the uterus remains l...
