Control of Proliferation, Migration, and Invasiveness of Human Extravillous Trophoblast by Decorin, a Decidual Product1
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells of the human placenta progressively lose their proliferative activity in situ as EVT cell columns migrate into and invade the decidua. It remains unclear whether this is due to a terminal differentiation of EVT cells along the invasive pathway with concomitant loss of proliferative ability, or a negative regulation by decidua-derived factors, or both mechanisms. Our earlier...
