Placenta-specific methylation of the vitamin D 24-hydroxylase gene: implications for feedback autoregulation of active vitamin D levels at the fetomaternal interface [PDF]
, 2009 Plasma concentrations of biologically active vitamin D (1,25- (OH)2D) are tightly controlled via feedback regulation of renal 1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1; positive) and 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1; catabolic) enzymes.

Syncytial Knots, Sprouts, Apoptosis, and Trophoblast Deportation from the Human Placenta
Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2009 The syncytiotrophoblast (STB) that forms the epithelial covering of the placental villous tree has a unique cell biology on account of its syncytial nature.

Modeling the human placental barrier to understand Toxoplasma gondii´s vertical transmission
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous apicomplexan parasite that can infect virtually any warm-blooded animal. Acquired infection during pregnancy and the placental breach, is at the core of the most devastating consequences of toxoplasmosis. T.

A retrospective segmentation analysis of placental volume by magnetic resonance imaging from first trimester to term gestation [PDF]
, 2018 Background Abnormalities of the placenta affect 5–7% of pregnancies. Because disturbances in fetal growth are often preceded by dysfunction of the placenta or attenuation of its normal expansion, placental health warrants careful surveillance. There are

Defense and infection of the human placenta
Acta Pathologica, Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica (APMIS), 2018 The placenta functions as a shield against infection of the fetus. The innate and adaptive immune defenses of the developing fetus are poorly equipped to fight infections.

Lactic Acid Transport Mediated by Aquaporin-9: Implications on the Pathophysiology of Preeclampsia
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Aquaporin-9 (AQP9) expression is significantly increased in preeclamptic placentas. Since feto-maternal water transfer is not altered in preeclampsia, the main role of AQP9 in human placenta is unclear.

Isolation and characterization of a light chain variable region gene for human rheumatoid factors. [PDF]
, 1987 Previously, we isolated a Vk gene (Humkv325) from a human placenta that encodes RF light chains bearing the PSL2 and PSL3 CRI markers. Here we report the isolation and characterization of a second human Vk gene (Humkv328) that can be used for RF ...
