Trophoblast Stem Cells: Models for Investigating Trophectoderm Differentiation and Placental Development
18 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
The placenta is an ephemeral organ containing diverse populations of trophoblasts that are all derived from the embryonic trophectoderm but have morphological, functional, and molecular diversity within and across species. In hemochorial placentation, these cells play especially important roles, interfacing with and modifying the cells of the maternal decidua. Within the rapidly growing placenta, it has been...
