...) is an angiogenic protein necessary for the development and maintenance of capillary networks. Whether VEGF is dysregulated in NEC remains unknown. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine whether intestinal VEGF expression is altered in a neonatal mouse model of NEC and in human NEC patients...

...Eiichi Natsuyama The movement of human embryos was observed in detail by ultrasonography, and body parts and types of movements were classified in anatomic terms and analyzed in relation to embryonal growth. The development of embryonic movement was also considered in connection...

... of the developing human jejunum. We show that calcitriol supports a proliferative process in the fetal human jejunum at 11 weeks of gestation and a differentiating activity in samples obtained between 16 and 20 weeks. The present data therefore suggest that calcitriol has a biphasic effect on the development...

...A. Labbé; B. Delcros; P. Déchelotte; C. Nouailles; G. Grizard The specific binding capacities for human prolactin (hPRL) and human growth hormone (hGH) were examined in human lung membrane preparations at different developmental stages. A parallel study was carried out on rabbit lung preparations...
