New approaches suggest term and preterm human fetal membranes may have distinct biomechanical properties. (2022)
Journal Article

Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes is the leading cause of preterm birth and its associated infant mortality and morbidity. However, its underlying mechanism remains unknown. We utilized two novel biomechanical assessment techniques, ball indenta... Read More about New approaches suggest term and preterm human fetal membranes may have distinct biomechanical properties..

Transcriptional profiling reveals altered biological characteristics of chorionic stem cells from women with gestational diabetes (2020)
Journal Article

Background Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy. The impact of pregnancy complications on placental function suggests that extraembryonic stem cells in the placenta may also be affected during pregnancy. Neonatal tissue-d...

Enhancement of Deep Learning in Image Classification Performance Using Xception with the Swish Activation Function for Colorectal Polyp Preliminary Screening (2019)
Journal Article

One of the leading forms of cancer is colorectal cancer (CRC), which is responsible for increasing mortality in young people. The aim of this paper is to provide an experimental modification of deep learning of Xception with Swish and assess the poss...

Chorionic and amniotic placental membrane‐derived stem cells, from gestational diabetic women, have distinct insulin secreting cell differentiation capacities (2019)
Journal Article

Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and their offspring, are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Chorionic (CMSCs) and amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) derived from placental membranes provide a source of autologous stem ce... Read More about Chorionic and amniotic placental membrane‐derived stem cells, from gestational diabetic women, have distinct insulin secreting cell differentiation capacities.

Chorionic and amniotic membrane-derived stem cells have distinct, and gestational diabetes mellitus independent, proliferative, differentiation, and immunomodulatory capacities (2019)
Journal Article

Placental membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with the advantages of being non-invasive and having fewer ethical issues, are a promising source for cell therapy. Gestational diabetes (GDM) alters the uterine environment and may affect the...

Elovl6 is a negative clinical predictor for liver cancer and knockdown of Elovl6 reduces murine liver cancer progression (2018)
Journal Article

The elongation of long-chain fatty acids family member 6 (Elovl6) is a key enzyme in lipogenesis that catalyzes the elongation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Insulin resistance involves upregulation of Elovl6, which has been linked to...

Pre-eclampsia is associated with a twofold increase in diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Aims/hypothesis: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific multi-system disorder and a state of physiological insulin resistance. Our aim is to systematically evaluate and quantify the evidence on the relationship between pre-eclampsia and the future ris...
