A KRABsody for Embryo-Placental Development

A stochastic model for early placental development†

In the human, placental structure is closely related to placental function and consequent pregnancy outcome. Studies have noted abnormal placental shape in small-for-gestational-age infants which extends to increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. The origins and determinants of placental shape are incompletely understood and are difficult to study in vivo. In this paper, we model the...

Placental laterality as a predictor for development of preeclampsia.

OBJECTIVE To find whether placental laterality as determined by ultrasound can be used as predictor for the development of preeclampsia. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Govt. Medical College, Jammu from 2006 to 2007. 150 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic both OPD and IPD at 18-24 weeks of gestation without any high risk fact...

Diffusion-reaction model for Drosophila embryo development.

During the early stages of gastrulation in Drosophila embryo, the epithelial cells composing the single tissue layer of the egg undergo large strains and displacements. These movements have been usually modelled by decomposing the total deformation gradient in an (imposed or strain/stress dependent) active part and a passive response. Although the influence of the chemical and genetic activity ...
