18 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: What is the association between placental formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) and trophoblast and endothelial functions in pregnancies affected by foetal growth restriction (FGR)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Reduced FPR2 placental expression in idiopathic FGR results in significantly altered trophoblast differentiation and endothelial function in vitro. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: FGR is associated with placental...
