Stem cell insights into human trophoblast lineage differentiation
2 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human placenta is vital for fetal development, yet little is understood about how it forms successfully to ensure a healthy pregnancy or why this process is inadequate in 1 in 10 pregnancies, leading to miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction or preeclampsia.
