Human placental cytotrophoblasts produce the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin 10. [PDF]
The mechanism by which the mammalian mother accepts the implanting fetus as an allograft remains unexplained, but is likely to be the result of a combination of factors.

Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference targeting the H19 gene inhibits cell proliferation and apoptosis in human choriocarcinoma cell line JAR [PDF]
BACKGROUND: H19 is a paternally imprinted gene that has been shown to be highly expressed in the trophoblast tissue. Results from previous studies have initiated a debate as to whether noncoding RNA H19 acts as a tumor suppressor or as a tumor promotor ...

AMHR2 mutation in persistent Müllerian duct syndrome: A case of transverse testicular ectopia
Abstract Backgroud Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare condition characterized by the persistence of Müllerian duct structures in genotypic and phenotypic males. Case Presentation We present the case of a 4‐month‐old male with PMDS who presented with transverse testicular ectopia. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopic orchiopexy

MicroRNA-34a is a tumor suppressor in choriocarcinoma via regulation of Delta-like1 [PDF]
Background: Choriocarcinoma is a gestational trophoblastic tumor which causes high mortality if left untreated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non protein-coding RNAs which inhibit target gene expression.

This study shows that lower NAM levels in PE‐derived pEVs correlate with disease severity. NAM‐deficient pEVs reduce Th1 and Th17 inhibition, leading to PE‐like symptoms. NAM in pEVs inhibits Th1 via SIRT1 and Th17 via macrophages. Reduced NAM in PE‐EVs is due to decreased HRS expression in trophoblasts, resulting from elevated HSP27.

Identification and characterisation of NANOG+/OCT-4high/SOX2+ doxorubicin-resistant stem-like cells from transformed trophoblastic cell lines [PDF]
Treatment of gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD) involves surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Although, these therapeutic approaches are highly successful, drug resistance and toxicity remain a concern for high risk patients.

A Novel Human Cellular System for Studying Normal Aging and for Anti‐Aging Discovery
This study introduces a human cellular aging model using placental trophoblasts (hTSC‐STBs) that mimics key aging features like senescence and genomic instability. It aligns with human tissue aging and responds to anti‐aging treatments, offering a scalable platform to screen potential therapies and bridge lab findings to clinical applications ...

Maternal obesity during pregnancy disrupts iron homeostasis and promotes fetal hypoxia in the mouse
Abstract figure legend Maternal obesity induces systemic inflammation and high insulin and leptin levels, potentially promoting hepcidin release into circulation and thus iron sequestration in specific tissue compartments. This results in low iron availability in the mother with potential detrimental effects on the fetus, including hypoxia.

Background Hydatidiform mole is a rare gynecological disease arising from trophoblastic tissue. There is no standard anesthetic management for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery; the decision may be based on preoperative patient status, the presence of coexisting illnesses, the risk of aspiration, and the availability of advanced equipment ...
