Cell dynamics in human villous trophoblast

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Villous cytotrophoblast (vCTB) is a precursor cell population that supports the development of syncytiotrophoblast (vSTB), the high surface area barrier epithelium of the placental villus, and the primary interface between maternal and fetal tissue.
