    Transcription Factors Underlying the Development and Endocrine Functions of the Placenta † † † JAMES C. CROSS,* LYNN ANSON-CARTWRIGHT, AND IAN C. SCOTT *Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1 Canada; †Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1X5 Canada ABSTRACT The placenta has been the subject of extensive basic research efforts in two distinct fields. The developmental biology of placenta has been studied because it is the first organ to develop during embryogenesis and because a number of different gene mutations in mice result in embryonic lethality due to placental defects. The trophoblast cell lineage is relatively simple such that only two major, terminally differentiated cell types appear: an “invasive trophoblast” cell subtype such as extravillous cytotrophoblast cells in humans and trophoblast giant cells in mice, and a “transport trophoblast” cell subtype that is a syncytium (syncytiotrophoblast) in humans and mice. These two cell types also have been the focus of endocrinologists because they are the source of major placental hormones. Understanding the transcriptional regulation of placental hormone genes has given insights into the control of specificity of gene expression. Because most placental hormones are produced by very specific trophoblast cell subtypes, the transcriptional details promise to give insights into cell-subtype specification. The fields of developmental biology and molecular endocrinology appear to be meeting on this common ground with the recent discovery of key transcription factors. Specifically, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Hand1 is essential for differen- tiation of trophoblast giant cells in mice and also regulates the promoter for the giant cell-specific hormone, placental lactogen I gene (Pl1).

Doan, PhD Michele La Merrill, PhD, MPH Heather Patisaul, PhD Ami Zota, ScD, MS December 2014 A JOINT ENDOCRINE SOCIETY–IPEN INITIATIVE TO RAISE GLOBAL AWARENESS ABOUT ENDOCRINE-DISRUPTING CHEMICALS Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hor- mones and the clinical practice of endo- crinology. The Endocrine Society’s mem- bership consists of over 18,000 scientists, physicians, educators, nurses, and students in more than 100 countries. Society members represent all basic, applied and clinical interests in endocrinology. Included among the Society’s members are the world’s leading experts on the health effects of EDCs. Endocrine Society members have been at the forefront of scientific advancements in the field of EDCs since it was first recognized that exogenous chemicals can have effects on endocrine systems. The Society held its first public meeting on EDCs in conjunction with its Annual Meeting in San Francisco in 2005. The So- ciety’s landmark 2009 Scientific Statement on EDCs was the first comprehensive review of the EDC literature, and it represented the first public statement on the issue from a major mainstream international medical society. IPEN is a leading global network of 700 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in more than 100 developing countries and countries with economies in transition. IPEN works to establish and implement safe chemicals policies and practices to protect human health and the environment.

  • 2017 Journal Citation Reports for Endocrine Society Journals
    2017 Journal Citation Reports For Endocrine Society Journals Memo Prepared by Endocrine Society Publishing Staff, June 26, 2018 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is an annual publication by Clarivate Analytics, formerly Thomson Reuters, formerly the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). JCR uses the citation activity of scholarly journals, as indexed in Clarivate’s Web of Science, in order to devise annual journal-level metrics. These metrics include the Journal Impact Factor, immediacy index, cited half-life, and others. The 2017 JCR results were publicly released on June 26, 2018. Definition of the scores The Journal Impact Factor looks at the articles a journal published over two years and averages the number of citations those articles received in the third year. The 2017 Journal Impact Factor, as a calculation: Number of citations from other publications in 2017 Number of citable articles published in 2015 and 2016 -------------------------------- The immediacy index looks at the number of articles published in a single year and averages their citations in other publications within the same year. The 2017 immediacy index, as a calculation: Number of citations from other publications in 2017 Number of citable articles published in 2017 Citable means scientific content. Clarivate indexes all journals individually and rules out items that are not seen as regular, editorial material. Items eliminated from the denominators above include editorials, errata, publisher’s notices, conference proceedings (meeting abstracts), and correspondence (letters to the editor and their responses). -------------------------------- The cited half-life refers to the median age of articles cited in the given year. It measures citations in only one year, but it looks at the age of every article that is cited.
