Decidual cell differentiation is evolutionarily derived from fibroblast activation
2020-12-20
Abstract excerpt
What the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolutionary origin of novel cell types are is a major unresolved question in biology. The uterine decidual cell is a novel cell type of placental mammals which serves as the interface between maternal and fetal tissues during pregnancy. In this paper, we investigate two models for the nature of the differentiation of decidual cells: first, that it represents a mesenchy...
