Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse (2016)
Journal Article
Aleksic, D., Blaschke, L., Missbach, S., Hänske, J., Weiss, W., Handler, J., …Kammerer, R. (2016). Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse. Reproduction, 152, 171-184. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-16-0236

Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family that are secreted by trophoblast cells. PSGs may modulate immune, angiogenic and platelet responses during pregnancy. Until now... Read More about Convergent evolution of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in human and horse.

A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies (2016)
Journal Article
Rose, B. V., Cabrera-Sharp, V., Firth, M. J., Barrelet, F. E., Bate, S., Cameron, I. J., …De Mestre, A. M. (2016). A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies. Placenta, 38, 107-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.12.014

Early pregnancy loss occurs in 6–10% of equine pregnancies making it the main cause of reproductive wastage. Despite this, reasons for the losses are known in only 16% of cases. Lack of viable conceptus material has inhibited investigations of many p... Read More about A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies.
