The emerging roles of placenta‐specific micro<scp>RNA</scp>s in regulating trophoblast proliferation during the first trimester

Abstract excerpt

In the human placenta, eight 'placenta-specific' microRNAs (miRNAs) are exclusively expressed and are associated with high cloning frequencies. The expression of placenta-specific miRNAs is known to be involved in preeclampsia, but the understanding of these miRNAs is still limited. The goal of this study was to investigate the levels and localisations of eight placenta-specific miRNAs in placental villi with...
