Unhealthy nutrition contributes to the worldwide rising prevalence of noncommunicable diseases. As most adverse reproductive outcomes originate during periconception period, effective interventions targeting this period are needed.

In fertile women, the endometrium undergoes regular cycles of tissue build-up and regression. It is likely that uterine stem cells are involved in this remarkable turn over. The main goal our current investigations was to identify slow-cycling (quiescent) endometrial by means a pulse-chase approach selectively earmark, prospectively isolate, characterize label-retaining (LRCs). To aim, transgenic mice expressing histone2B-GFP (H2B-GFP) Tet-inducible fashion were administered doxycycline...
Unhealthy nutrition and lifestyle contribute to the worldwide rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases. This also accounts for reproductive population, in which unhealthy behavior affects fertility pregnancy outcome. Maternal smoking, alcohol consumption inadequate folic acid supplement use are strongly associated with fetal complications as small gestational age, premature birth congenital malformations.
