Abstract excerpt
Trophoblast cell invasion into the uterine wall is characteristic of hemochorial placentation. In this report, we examine trophoblast cell invasion in the rat and mouse, the endocrine phenotype of invasive trophoblast cells, and aspects of the regulation of trophoblast cell invasion. In the rat, trophoblast cells exhibit extensive interstitial and endovascular invasion. Trophoblast cells penetrate through the...
