High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2012 Hypoxia of the placenta is integral to complications of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, and small-for-gestational age babies. Hypoxia in the placenta is associated with vascular remodeling, hypertension, metabolic changes, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endoplasmic reticular stress.

Rare Tumors, 2010 Chorangioma of the placenta is a rare tumor with a frequency of about 1%, which usually presents as a solitary nodule or, less frequently, as multiple nodules. It is found on the fetal surface of the placenta or in placental parenchyma. Most chorangiomas are small and possess no clinical significance.

Retroviruses and the Placenta [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 Retroviruses are often expressed in the placenta. Placental expression probably evolved to facilitate retroviral transmission from mother to offspring and from offspring to mother. In the process, the placenta became a site where retroviral genes were 'domesticated' to serve adaptive functions in the host, including the manipulation of maternal ...

Epigenetics and the placenta [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 2010 The placenta is of utmost importance for intrauterine fetal development and growth. Deregulation of placentation can lead to adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus, e.g. gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), pre-eclampsia and fetal growth retardation. A significant factor in placental development and function is epigenetic regulation.This review

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2017 Chorioangioma of placenta is the commonest benign tumour of the placenta. It consists of a benign angioma arising from chorionic tissue. We report a case of placental chorioangioma which was diagnosed in the post partum period in a patient with polyhydramnios who went into preterm labor and delivered a premature baby.

Reproductive BioMedicine Online, 2012 The chorioallantoic placenta is the defining organ of eutherians that has enabled prolonged intrauterine gestation. As such, normal placental development and function are essential for mammalian reproductive success. Reflecting the key role of this organ in providing nutrients to the embryo, the characteristic cell type that forms substantial parts of ...
