Proteomics characterization of human uterine samples during reproductive ageing

Nowadays, postponing motherhood has become more common in modern societies. Such decision rises major social and health concerns, as advanced maternal age associates with low fertility, pregnancy complications and a greater need for assisted reproductive techniques.

Addressing the role of maternal age on the metabolic profile of the placenta

After the age of 35, during pregnancy, there is an increased risk of impaired placentation. Changes in uterine redox balance seem to play a role in deficient placentation. We hypothesized that this local redox dysregulation has a negative impact on the placenta metabolic profile. Thus, we aimed to study the placenta metabolic profile during reproductive aging and the effect of antioxidant supplementation. Place...

First Insights on Resistance and Virulence Potential of Escherichia coli from C...

Captive birds of prey are often used for pest control in urban areas, while also participating in falconry exhibitions. Traveling across the country, these birds may represent a public health concern as they can host pathogenic and zoonotic agents and share the same environment as humans and synanthropic species. In this work, Escherichia coli from the cloacal samples of 27 captive birds of prey were characteri...
