TFEB controls syncytiotrophoblast differentiation
2024-02-21
Abstract excerpt
During human development, a subset of differentiating fetal cells form a temporary organ, the placenta, which invades the uterine wall to support nutrient, oxygen, and waste exchange between the mother and fetus until birth. Most of the human placenta is formed by a syncytial villous structure which arises via cell-cell fusion of underlying fetal trophoblast stem cells. Genetic and functional studies have characte...
