The placenta: epigenetic insights into trophoblast developmental models of a generation-bridging organ with long-lasting impact on lifelong health
12 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
The placenta is a unique organ system that functionally combines both maternal and fetal cell types with distinct lineage origins. Normal placentation is critical for developmental progression and reproductive success. Although the placenta is best known for its nutrient supply function to the fetus, genetic experiments in mice highlight that the placenta is also pivotal for directing the proper formation of...
