The Expression Pattern of MicroRNAs and the Associated Pathways Involved in the Development of Porcine Placental Folds That Contribute to the Expansion of the Exchange Surface Area1

Abstract excerpt

The development of the microscopically folded structure of the diffuse epitheliochorial placenta in pigs is important because it expands the surface area for maternal-fetal exchange, resulting in an increase in placental efficiency. To better understand the regulatory mechanisms involved in this process, we characterized miRNA expression profiles in porcine placentas during the initiation and establishment of...
