Endogenous retrovirus-derived enhancers confer the transcriptional regulation of human trophoblast syncytialization
7 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) have been proposed as a driving force for the evolution of the mammalian placenta, however, the contribution of ERVs to placental development and the underlying regulatory mechanism remain largely elusive. A key process of placental development is the formation of multinucleated syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) in direct contact with maternal blood, through which constitutes the...
