16. Endogenous and Exogenous Drivers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Preeclampsia
Abstract : Preeclampsia (PE), is a pregnancy related condition afflicting 3-8% of all pregnancies and a main cause of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is thought to originate from a malfunctioning placental that eventually leads to damage to the maternal endothelium, which in turn gives rise to hypertension and organ dysfunction. READ MORE

17. Cytokines and lipids in pregnancy – effects on developmental programming and placental nutrient transfer
Abstract : Metabolic disturbances, in particular those associated with nutritional challenges, that take place during development, both in utero and early postnatal life, have long-lasting health consequences on an individual. The most pronounced evidence of these challenges is a deviation in birth weight. READ MORE

18. Mercury exposure during early human development
Abstract : People are exposed to methylimercury (MeHg) mainly via consumption of fish, especially large predatory fish species. Inhaled mercury vapour (Hg0) released from dental amalgam fillings is the main source of exposure to inorganic mercury (I-Hg). In the body, a small fraction of MeHg is demethylated to inorganic He while most Hg0 is oxidized to Hg2+. READ MORE

Of all the known HERV groups, the HERV-K supergroup apparently comes closest to encoding functional retroviral proteins, although infectious particles have not been demonstrated. READ MORE

20. Cloning and characterization of human glutaredoxins
Abstract : Reactive oxygen species, ROS, are generated in cells during aerobic metabolism. High and sustained levels of ROS pose a serious threat to all major cellular components, DNA, proteins mid lipids whereas controlled and physiological concentrations play a central role as a second messenger signal molecule involved in cell functions including, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis.
