Transuterine Fetal Tracheal Occlusion Model in Mice

Transuterine Fetal Tracheal Occlusion Model in Mice

Various animal models of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and fetal tracheal occlusion present advantages and disadvantages regarding ethical issues, cost, surgical difficulty, size, survival rates, and availability of genetic tools. This model provides a new tool to study the impact of both tracheal occlusion and increased luminal pressure on lung...

Isolation of Leukocytes from the Human Maternal-fetal Interface

Isolation of Leukocytes from the Human Maternal-fetal Interface

Described herein is a protocol to isolate and further study the infiltrating leukocytes of the decidua basalis and decidua parietalis - the human maternal-fetal interface. This protocol maintains the integrity of cell surface markers and yields enough viable cells for downstream applications as proven by flow cytometry analysis.

A Mouse Fetal Skin Model of Scarless Wound Repair

A Mouse Fetal Skin Model of Scarless Wound Repair

During mammalian development, early gestational skin wounds heal without a scar. Here we detail a reliable and reproducible model of fetal scarless wound healing in the cutaneous dorsum of E16.5 (scarless) and E18.5 (scarring) mouse...

Isolation, Culture, and Imaging of Human Fetal Pancreatic Cell Clusters

Isolation, Culture, and Imaging of Human Fetal Pancreatic Cell Clusters

A protocol to isolate, culture, and image islet cell clusters (ICCs) derived from human fetal pancreatic cells is described. The method details the steps necessary to generate ICCs from tissue, culture as monolayers or in suspension as aggregates, and image for markers of proliferation and pancreatic cell fate...

Progenitor-derived Oligodendrocyte Culture System from Human Fetal Brain

Progenitor-derived Oligodendrocyte Culture System from Human Fetal Brain

Primary, human fetal brain-derived, multipotential progenitor cells proliferate in vitro while maintaining the capacity to differentiate into neurons and astrocytes. This work shows that neural progenitors can be induced to differentiate through stages of the oligodendrocytic lineage by conditioning with select growth...

Generation of Neural Stem Cells from Discarded Human Fetal Cortical Tissue

Generation of Neural Stem Cells from Discarded Human Fetal Cortical Tissue

A simple and reliable method on isolation and culture of neural stem cells from discarded human fetal cortical tissue is described. Cultures derived from known human neurological disorders can be used for characterization of pathological cellular and molecular processes, as well as provide a platform to assess pharmacological...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Routine obstetrical sonography allows visualization of the fetus, improving congenital anomaly management. While most conditions are treated after birth, fetal intervention offers benefits in select prenatal cases.

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Fetal Medicine
Neonatal Surgery

Background:

Routine prenatal ultrasonography has revolutionized the diagnosis of congenital anomalies.
Understanding fetal development and pathology in utero is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the impact of prenatal diagnosis on congenital anomaly management.
To discuss the role and potential benefits of fetal intervention for select conditions.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on prenatal diagnosis and fetal intervention.
Analysis of case studies where fetal intervention was considered or performed.

Main Results:

Prenatal diagnosis via sonography enables early identification of numerous fetal malformations.
Postnatal management remains the standard for most correctable anomalies.
Fetal intervention presents a viable therapeutic option for specific, carefully selected fetal conditions.

Conclusions:

Prenatal ultrasonography is a cornerstone of modern obstetrics, significantly altering congenital anomaly care.
While postnatal treatment is common, fetal intervention is an emerging and advantageous approach for select fetal anomalies, requiring careful case selection and multidisciplinary management.
