Proteomic Analysis of Placental Mitochondria Following Trophoblast Differentiation

Abstract excerpt

As gestation proceeds the human placenta is in a constant state of renewal and placental debris is released into the maternal circulation where it can trigger adverse physiological and immunological responses. Trophoblast cells of the placenta differentiate from mononuclear cytotrophoblast cells to fuse and form the syncytiotrophoblast, a multinuclear layer that covers the entire surface of the placenta. As part...
