The Structure of the Human Placenta: Implications for Initiating and Defending Against Virus Infections

1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt

The architecture of the human placenta permits an extensive and intimate association between the maternal and fetal circulations. The fetal component consists of the elaborately branched villous tree, and this is bathed directly by maternal blood circulating within the intervillous space. Whilst this arrangement may favour metabolic exchange, it poses considerable risks for the vertical transmission of pathogens....
