Eutherian-Specific Gene TRIML2 Attenuates Inflammation in the Evolution of Placentation
9 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Evolution of highly invasive placentation in the stem lineage of eutherians and subsequent extension of pregnancy set eutherians apart from other mammals, that is, marsupials with short-lived placentas, and oviparous monotremes. Recent studies suggest that eutherian implantation evolved from marsupial attachment reaction, an inflammatory process induced by the direct contact of fetal placenta with maternal...
