FABP4 mediates endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy to regulate endometrial epithelial cell function during early sheep gestation.
The Journal of reproduction and development ·doi:10.1262/jrd.2023-015

Dynamic changes in the endometrium are crucial for establishing early pregnancy in ruminants. Blastocyst elongation and implantation require hormones and nutrients to be secreted from the maternal endometrium. The fatty acid-binding protein…

Genome-Wide Association Study of Susceptibility to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine ·doi:10.1164/rccm.201905-1017oc

Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex lung disease characterized by scarring of the lung that is believed to result from an atypical response to injury of the epithelium. Genome-wide association studies have reported s…

Variants in the fetal genome near pro-inflammatory cytokine genes on 2q13 associate with gestational duration.
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11881-8

The duration of pregnancy is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors. Here we report a fetal genome-wide association meta-analysis of gestational duration, and early preterm, preterm, and postterm birth in 84,689 in…
