PiggyBac Transposase Mediated Inducible Trophoblast-specific Knockdown of Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin in Mice Decreases Placental Nutrient Transport and Inhibits Fetal Growth
2024-02-22
Abstract excerpt
Abnormal fetal growth is associated with perinatal complications and adult disease. The placental mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling activity is positively correlated to placental nutrient transport and fetal growth. However, if this association represents a mechanistic link, it remains unknown. We hypothesized that trophoblast-specific mTOR knockdown in late pregnant mice decreases placental nutrien...
