• Effect of maternal sleep on embryonic development 

      Vietheer, Alexander; Kiserud, Torvid; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Lie, Rolv T.; Kessler, Jørg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The concept of developmental origin of health and disease has ignited a search for mechanisms and health factors influencing normal intrauterine development. Sleep is a basic health factor with substantial individual ...
    • The effect of WnT pathway modulators on human iPSC-derived pancreatic beta cell maturation 

      Vethe, Heidrun; Ghila, Luiza; Berle, Magnus; Hoareau, Laurence; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Scholz, Hanne; Paulo, Joao A.; Chera, Simona; Ræder, Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-08)
      Current published protocols for targeted differentiation of human stem cells toward pancreatic β-cells fail to deliver sufficiently mature cells with functional properties comparable to human islet β-cells. We aimed to ...
    • Maternal physical activity affects yolk sac size and growth in early pregnancy, but girls and boys use different strategies 

      Vietheer, Alexander; Kiserud, Torvid; Ebbing, Cathrine; Rajkumar, Hemamaalini; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Lie, Rolv T.; Romero, Roberto; Kessler, Jørg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      This longitudinal study investigated the impact of actigraphy-measured maternal physical activity on yolk sac size during early development. The yolk sac, a transient extraembryonic organ, plays a crucial role in embryonic ...
    • Modulating Wnt signaling in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived S7 cells 

      Vethe, Heidrun; Ghila, Luiza; Berle, Magnus; Hoareau, Laurence; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Scholz, Hanne; Paulo, Joao A.; Chera, Simona; Ræder, Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Current published protocols for targeted differentiation of human stem cells toward pancreatic β-cells fail to deliver sufficiently mature cells with functional properties comparable to human islet β-cells. We aimed to ...
    • Sleep and physical activity from before conception to the end of pregnancy in healthy women: a longitudinal actigraphy study 

      Vietheer, Alexander; Kiserud, Torvid; Lie, Rolv Terje; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Kessler, Jörg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Sleep and physical activity changes are common in pregnancy, but longitudinal data starting before conception are scarce. Our aim was to determine the changes of the daily total sleep time (TST) and physical ...
