Cytotrophoblast stem cell lines derived from human embryonic stem cells and their capacity to mimic invasive implantation events

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: An effective embryonic-maternal interaction is crucial for successful human pregnancy. Failure of this process is a major cause of infertility and can lead to placental dysfunction resulting in recurrent miscarriage, fetal retardation and pre-eclampsia. Research is severely constrained by ethical and practical considerations; therefore, we aimed to generate cytotrophoblast stem (CTBS) cell lines from...
