First Trimester Maternal Homocysteine and Embryonic and Fetal Growth: The Rotterdam Periconception Cohort (2022)
Journal Article
Rubini, E., Snoek, K. M., Schoenmakers, S., Willemsen, S. P., Sinclair, K. D., Rousian, M., & Steegers-Theunissen, R. P. (2022). First Trimester Maternal Homocysteine and Embryonic and Fetal Growth: The Rotterdam Periconception Cohort. Nutrients, 14(6), Article 1129. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu14061129

Homocysteine is a marker for derangements in one-carbon metabolism. Elevated homocysteine may represent a causal link between poor maternal nutrition and impaired embryonic and fetal development. We sought to investigate associations between referenc... Read More about First Trimester Maternal Homocysteine and Embryonic and Fetal Growth: The Rotterdam Periconception Cohort.

Maternal one-carbon metabolism during the periconceptional period and human foetal brain growth: A systematic review (2021)
Journal Article
Rubini, E., Baijens, I. M., Horánszky, A., Schoenmakers, S., Sinclair, K. D., Zana, M., …Rousian, M. (2021). Maternal one-carbon metabolism during the periconceptional period and human foetal brain growth: A systematic review. Genes, 12(10), Article 1634. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes12101634

The maternal environment during the periconceptional period influences foetal growth and development, in part, via epigenetic mechanisms moderated by one-carbon metabolic pathways. During embryonic development, one-carbon metabolism is involved in br...

© 2020 The Authors Contemporary systems for oocyte retrieval and culture of both cattle and human embryos are suboptimal with respect to pregnancy outcomes following transfer. In humans, chromosome abnormalities are the leading cause of early pregnan...

Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells (2017)
Journal Article
Choi, M., Genereux, D. P., Goodson, J., Al-Azzawi, H., Allain, S. Q., Simon, N., …Laird, C. D. (2017). Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells. PLoS Genetics, 13(11), Article e1007060. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1007060

In storing and transmitting epigenetic information, organisms must balance the need to maintain information about past conditions with the capacity to respond to information in their current and future environments. Some of this information is encode... Read More about Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells.
