Syncytial nuclei accumulate at the villous surface in IUGR while proliferation is unchanged
14 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Placental syncytiotrophoblast is responsible for feto-maternal nutrient exchange during pregnancy. It is assumed that in IUGR, placental dysfunction is crucially bound to compromised stability and function of syncytiotrophoblast, the latter being related to altered proliferation of villous trophoblast. Cell cycle data obtained on conventional thin sections has produced inconsistent results. In the...
