Phenotypic and functional characterisation of first trimester human placental macrophages, Hofbauer cells
2020-09-03
Abstract excerpt
Hofbauer cells (HBC) are a population of macrophages found in high abundance within the stroma of the first trimester human placenta. HBC are the only fetal immune cell population within the stroma of healthy placenta. However, the functional properties of these cells are poorly described. Aligning with their predicted origin via primitive haematopoiesis, we find that HBC are transcriptionally similar to yolk sac...
