CytofRUV is a computational algorithm that effectively enables batch effect reduction in multiple CyTOF batches with an adaptable normalisation method and an R-Shiny application with diagnostics plots.

Active uptake and metabolism of maternal vitamin D by the placenta determine fetal exposure to vitamin D and how vitamin D regulates the placental transcriptome, which is also determined by its underlying epigenetic landscape, and proteome.

During cardiogenesis, the major role of glucose is not the catabolic extraction of energy but the anabolic biosynthesis of nucleotides.

Women with unexplained miscarriages have an altered behavioral and brain response to men's body-odor, and this may reflect a factor in their condition.

Unexplained repeated pregnancy loss is associated with an altered perception of male odors and differences in brain regions that process smells.

After mating, female mice form a sensory memory of the stud male's pheromones that correlates with striking changes in responsiveness of the specific neural ensemble activated by her partner.

Semiochemicals activate a subpopulation of sexually dimorphic olfactory sensory neurons.

In cooperatively breeding Damaraland mole-rats, transitioning to 'queen' results in extensive gene regulatory and morphological remodeling, but also costs to skeletal integrity that scale with reproductive investment.

This review considers the evolutionary processes and physiological mechanisms that maintain or end pregnancy in mammals to formulate general, testable theoretical models that provide insights into the biology of parturition.

The transcription factor HAND2 evolved uterine expression during the origins of pregnancy and may be important for maternal-fetal immune signaling and parturition.
