Accumulation of lipid droplets (also known as lipid bodies or adiposomes) within leukocytes,
epithelial cells, hepatocytes and other non-adipocytic cells is a frequently observed …

Lipid body accumulation within leukocytes is a common feature in both clinical and
experimental infectious, neoplasic and other inflammatory conditions. Here, we will review …

Eicosanoids (prostaglandins, leukotrienes and lipoxins) are signaling lipids derived from
arachidonic acid metabolism that have important roles in physiological and pathological …

Parturition is composed of five separate but integrated physiological events: fetal membrane
rupture, cervical dilatation, myometrial contractility, placental separation and uterine …

Cells are continuously exposed to cues, which signal cell survival or death. Fine-tuning of
these conflicting signals is essential for tissue development and homeostasis, and defective …

Abstract Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and F2α (PGF2α) are the two most prominent prostanoids
in parturition. They are involved in cervical ripening, membrane rupture, myometrial …

Objective. Biomarkers for preterm labor (PTL) and delivery can be discovered through the
analysis of the transcriptome (transcriptomics) and protein composition (proteomics) …

Prostaglandin E synthase (PGES), which converts cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived
prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to PGE2, is known to comprise a group of at least three structurally …
