Placenta, 2019 Intrauterine growth restriction is often accompanied by placental vascular disease, of which histologic maternal vascular malperfusion is prominent. Maternal vascular malperfusion is characterized by accelerated villous maturation consistent with placental aging. Alpha klotho is an anti-aging protein produced by the placenta.
