The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Propionate in the fetal circulation is thought to originate from fermentation of dietary fibre by the maternal gut microbiota. However, the mechanism of transplacental transport has remained unclear. Here, we measured propionate permeability using a placental barrier model generated by differentiating human placental trophoblast ...

Stem Cell Research & TherapyBackground The characteristic constituents of the mature placenta are made up of highly specialised trophoblast cell types. Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) possess the developmental plasticity to differentiate into all these mature placental cell types ...

Physiological and anatomical determinants of placental drug transfer
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Fetal exposure to pharmaceuticals and their subsequent clearance back to the maternal circulation are governed by placental transfer. Passive diffusion down a maternal‐to‐fetal concentration gradient is the primary route of fetal drug exposure, with specific compounds undergoing transporter‐mediated transfer.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of a flow‐driven in vitro model of the human placental barrier designed to study transport processes during pregnancy. The model recreates key features of the maternal–fetal interface, enabling the investigation of how nutrients and therapeutic compounds cross the placental barrier under physiologically ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend A summary of the current knowledge around membrane transporter expression in the most widely used in vitro models of human trophoblasts, including primary placental tissue, cancer cell lines and trophoblast stem cells, as well as the techniques to attempt to mimic the human placenta in vivo.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly taken during pregnancy for pain and fever. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of paracetamol's effects during pregnancy, several elements need to be examined including the transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and into the developing brain, the short‐ and long‐term effects of ...

JCI InsightTranscription factor AP-2 gamma (TFAP2C) has been identified as a key regulator of the trophoblast cell lineage and hemochorial placentation. The rat possesses deep placentation characterized by extensive intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion, which ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Arboviruses induce virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and functional markers. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) exposure was associated with reduced syncytiotrophoblast and syncytial knot areas, increased cytotrophoblast proliferation (Ki‐67) and thyroid transporter (MCT8) expression, reduced protective (P‐gp and BCRP ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This study assessed the impact of plasma‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from healthy pregnant women and those diagnosed with late‐onset preeclampsia (PE) on the blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity and glial cell response. PE patients had higher sEV concentrations than healthy controls.
