Placental histological lesions in fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia: A retrospective cohort study of 21 cases
2016, PlacentaCitation Excerpt :Its clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic thrombocytopenia, to mild petechiae and ecchymoses, to severe intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) that results in death or poor neurological outcome. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) [2,3] and intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) are also recognized as complications of this disorder [4,5]. FNAIT is caused by maternal alloantibodies against paternally derived fetal platelet antigens and leads to fetal thrombocytopenia, defined by a platelet count below 150,000 platelets/μl.
MicroRNA-based system in stem cell reprogramming; differentiation/dedifferentiation
2014, International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell BiologyCitation Excerpt :Chromatin remodeling complexes and cytosine methyl transferases are the most important regulators of epigenetic reprogramming of ESCs (Bibikova et al., 2008). Dynamic nature of DNA methylation marks the ‘survival skills’ of undifferentiated SCs within the human body, in particular by miRNAs with non-heritable expression patterns (Ackerman et al., 2012). In regard to EMT and MET phenomenon, DNA methylation is a putative identifier for inactivation of miR-200.
