Abstract excerpt
The suppressive regulator of cell fusion, suppressyn, is specifically expressed in the human placenta and is thought to play a crucial role in trophoblast fusion or syncytialization. Previous studies have suggested that alterations in its expression are associated with aberrant placental development, such as the immature placental morphology observed in Down syndrome, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of...
