BMC Med Educ
. 2024 Jan;
24(1):57.
PMID: 38212802
Background: Artificial intelligence-based large language models, like ChatGPT, have been rapidly assessed for both risks and potential in health-related assessment and learning. However, their applications in public health professional exams...

Development
. 2022 Jan;
149(1).
PMID: 34982814
Imprinting control region (ICR1) controls the expression of the Igf2 and H19 genes in a parent-of-origin specific manner. Appropriate expression of the Igf2-H19 locus is fundamental for normal fetal development,...

Roberts G, Tunster S
Placenta
. 2020 Aug;
99:131-140.
PMID: 32798765
Introduction: The placenta performs a range of functions to support fetal growth. In addition to facilitating nutrient transport, the placenta also stores glucose as glycogen, which is thought to maintain...

Aykroyd B, Tunster S, Sferruzzi-Perri A
J Endocrinol
. 2020 May;
246(1):93-108.
PMID: 32380473
The placenta regulates materno-fetal nutrient transfer and secretes hormones that enable maternal physiological support of the pregnancy. In mice, these functions are performed by the labyrinth (Lz) and junctional (Jz)...

Mol Genet Metab Rep
. 2020 Apr;
23:100580.
PMID: 32257815
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with dietary folate deficiency and mutations in genes required for one‑carbon metabolism. However, the mechanism through which this occurs is unclear. To improve...

Tunster S, Watson E, Fowden A, Burton G
Reproduction
. 2020 Mar;
159(6):R213-R235.
PMID: 32191912
The placenta performs a range of crucial functions that support fetal growth during pregnancy, including facilitating the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, removal of waste products from...

Reproduction
. 2019 Nov;
159(2):115-132.
PMID: 31751309
Assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) are becoming increasingly common. Therefore, how these procedures influence gene regulation and foeto-placental development are important to explore. Here, we assess the effects of blastocyst transfer...
