Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1970 This magnificent treatise on the human placenta is a definitive work on the normal structure of that vital and often-neglected organ. The usual book, like a bottle of wine, is soon finished, leaving only more or less pleasant memories. This book, however, large in size and broad in scope, is more like a whole wine cellar—to be read and enjoyed over a ...

Breaking rules: the complex relationship between DNA methylation and X-chromosome inactivation in the human placenta [PDF]
Biology of Sex DifferencesBackground The human placenta is distinct from most organs due to its uniquely low-methylated genome. DNA methylation (DNAme) is particularly depleted in the placenta at partially methylated domains and on the inactive X chromosome (Xi) in XX samples ...

Isolation and characterization of galectin-1 binding proteins from human placenta [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2000 Galectin-1 binding proteins were isolated from human placenta by affinity chromatography on a column with immobilized endogenous lectin. The molecular masses of the isolated proteins of 170, 67 and 56 kDa were estimated by gel filtration and SDS-

Development of the human placenta [PDF]
Development, 2019 ABSTRACT The placenta is essential for normal in utero development in mammals. In humans, defective placental formation underpins common pregnancy disorders such as pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. The great variation in placental types across mammals means that animal models have been of limited use in understanding human ...
