An animal organism in the early stages of growth and differentiation that in higher forms merge into fetal stages but in lower forms terminate in commencement of larval life.
A cognition is either an intuition or a conception (intuitus vel conceptus).
2
Specifically, active MMP2 in the endometrium may determine the allocation of growth factors supporting conceptus development.
3
Selectins are also involved in attachment of the conceptus to the endometrium and subsequent placental development.
4
For this reason we ought to call these conceptions, conceptions of comparison (conceptus comparationis).
5
Maternally provisioned environmental conditions and signals affect conceptus, fetoplacental and postnatal development from the time of conception until weaning.
6
Observations in early equine pregnancy clearly reveal maternal immune recognition of and response to the presence of the conceptus.
7
The implantation process requires a functionally normal conceptus and a receptive endometrium, but also a communication link between them.
8
Prominent examples are orphan nuclear receptor COUP-TFII and connexin 43, both known to play important roles in uterine receptivity and conceptus placentation.
9
Collectively, these contribute to the challenge of optimizing PGS and understanding how the screening result reflects the ultimate genetic constitution of the conceptus.
10
Objective: During an uncomplicated pregnancy the conceptus is a semiallogeneic entity in which rejection is prevented by suppression of the maternal immune system.
11
Fetal growth and development from its very first stages of intrauterine life is significantly influenced by the metabolic environment in which the conceptus develops.
12
Early embryonic development in the pig is characterized by a rapid elongation of the conceptus trophectoderm on days 11-12 of gestation.
13
Sixty-two percent of the clones found in the endometrial library and 78% of the clones found in the conceptus library showed homology with known genes.
14
A mosaic conceptus was found in 1.5 per cent of cases, with generalized mosaicisms and confined mosaicisms in 0.2 and 1.3 per cent, respectively.
15
Of the 1000 subtractive clones isolated from each library, 137 endometrial and 166 conceptus-enriched cDNAs were single-pass sequenced and examined by BLAST analysis for identification.
16
Conceptus shareholders will receive $31 a share in cash, the companies said in a statement yesterday.
