TL;DR: It is proposed that placenta-specific galectins reduce the danger of maternal immune attacks on the fetal semiallograft, presumably conferring additional immune tolerance mechanisms and in turn sustaining hemochorial placentation during the long gestation of anthropoid primates.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that MCA‐PSV can provide additional information on the prognosis of hypoxemic IUGR fetuses is tested.

TL;DR: It is proposed that amniotic fluid HBD-2 is part of the innate immune system within theAmniotic cavity, and this may account for some of the antimicrobial activity of amniotics fluid.

TL;DR: A method of 4‐dimensional reconstruction of the cardiac chambers and outflow tracts using a combination of spatiotemporal image correlation, “inversion mode,” and “B‐flow” imaging is described.

TL;DR: Parsimony- and codon model-based phylogenetic analysis of coding sequences show that amino acid replacements occurred in early mammalian evolution on key residues, including gain of cysteines, which regulate immune functions by redox status-mediated conformational changes that disable sugar binding and dimerization, and that the acquired immunoregulatory functions of galectin-1 then became highly conserved in eutherian lineages.
