Early differentiation and gene expression characteristics of trophoblast lineages

Abstract excerpt

With the development of the embryo, the totipotent blastomere undergoes the first lineage decision to the inner cell mass (ICM) and the trophectoderm (TE). The ICM forms the fetus while the TE forms the placenta, which is one of the unique organs in mammals serving as the interface between maternal and fetal bloodstreams. Proper trophoblast lineage differentiation is crucial for correct placental and fetal...
