Key message The power-law equation provides marginally better accuracy than the Montgomery–Koyama–Smith equation for estimating total tepal area, with flexible definitions of maximum tepal length maintaining prediction reliability. Abstract Montgomery–Koyama–Smith equation (MKSE) and power law equation (PLE) were evaluated for estimating the total tepal area ( A T ) of Magnolia × soulangeana flowers using 3231 tepals from 359...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy. Exosomes are known to be upregulated in PE. In this study, we sought to investigate the effect of miR-486-5p from human placental microvascular endothelial cells, on the function of trophoblast cells. To investigate the function of human placental microvascular endothelial cell (HPVEC)-derived exosomes on trophoblast cells, HPVECs were treated with hypoxia/reoxygenation...
