Abstract excerpt
The extensively branched vascular network within the placenta is vital for materno-fetal exchange, and inadequate development of this network is implicated in the pregnancy disorder fetal growth restriction (FGR), where babies are born pathologically small. Placental mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (pMSCs) and placental macrophages both reside in close proximity to blood vessels within the placenta, where they are...
