Trophoblast Differentiation Affects Crucial Nutritive Functions of Placental Membrane Transporters. [PDF]
Cytotrophoblasts are progenitor cells that proliferate and fuse to form the multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast layer, implicated in placental endocrine and transport functions.

Increased angiogenic factor secretion by decidual natural killer cells from pregnancies with high uterine artery resistance alters trophoblast function. [PDF]
STUDY QUESTION Are the concentrations of factors secreted by decidual natural killer (dNK) cells from pregnancies at high risk of poor spiral artery remodelling different to those secreted from pregnancies at low risk?

Regulation of Placental Development and Its Impact on Fetal Growth—New Insights From Mouse Models
The placenta is the chief regulator of nutrient supply to the growing embryo during gestation. As such, adequate placental function is instrumental for developmental progression throughout intrauterine development.

RBM10 Regulates Embryonic Trophoblast Injury via Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Background: Previous studies shown that RNA binding motif proteins (RBM) participate in regulating various physiological processes such as cell autophagy, proliferation, and apoptosis, and are abnormally highly expressed in placental trophoblast cells ...

Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...
