Differentiation and proliferation patterns in human trophoblast revealed by c-erbB-2 oncogene product and EGF-R.
1 Feb 1993
Abstract excerpt
It is well known that growth factors and proto-oncogenes play a pivotal role in organogenesis as well as in tumor development. The human placenta is a rapidly growing organ which shares some aspects with malignant tumors. We have studied the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) and the receptor encoded by the c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene in first- and third-trimester human placentas. We compared...
