The angiogenic and invasive properties of the cytotrophoblast are crucial to provide an adequate area for feto-maternal exchange. The present study aimed at identifying the localization of interrelated angiogenic, hyperpermeability and vasodilator factors in the feto-maternal interface in pregnant guinea-pigs.

The prion protein (PrP) is essential for the pathogenesis of prion disease. PrP has been detected in the cytosol of neurons and transgenic mice expressing PrP in the cytosol (cyPrP) under a pan-neuronal promoter developed rapid cerebellar granule neuron degeneration.
SAR studies for the exploration a novel class of anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) agents based on the hematoxylin structure (1) are described. The systematic deoxygenations of 1 including asymmetric synthesis were conducted to obtain a compound showing high
Histamine receptor 1 (HRH1) belongs to the rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptor family. Its activation by histamine triggers cell proliferation, embryonic development, and tumor growth. We recently established that HRH1 is up-regulated in basal and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-enriched
