Abstract excerpt
Normal placental development is dependent on the orchestrated differentiation of cytotrophoblast (CTB) cells. This study was aimed at studying cytotrophoblast cells from normal and preeclamptic pregnancies in a three-dimensional spheroid-based cell culture model. First trimester cytotrophoblast cells cultured as spheroids maintain their high proliferative and invasive phenotype and respond to different cytokines...
