A review of xenobiotic membrane transporter expression within the human placenta: Lessons gained from primary tissue and in vitro methodologies

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.

Transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and fetal blood–brain barriers and its safety for use in pregnancy

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 ...

A roadmap towards targeted differentiation of mouse trophoblast stem cells into cell types of the feto-maternal exchange surface

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Background 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 ...

Of Germ Cells, Trophoblasts, and Cancer Stem Cells

Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2008
The trophoblastic theory of cancer, proposed in the early 1900s by Dr John Beard, may not initially seem relevant to current cancer models and treatments. However, the underpinnings of this theory are remarkably similar to those of the cancer stem cell (CSC) theory.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

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 ...

Epigenetic Perspectives on Maternal Gut Microbiota's Impact on Embryonic and Fetal Development

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review summarizes how maternal health and nutrition shape gut microbiota via epigenetics to regulate embryonic development. It highlights microbiota‐embryo interactions, disruption by prenatal chemical exposures, and personalized nutrition for disease prevention, offering novel insights and therapeutic targets.

Inhibition of PLA2G15 Alleviates Palmitic Acid‐Induced Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization in Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells During Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
LMP is responsible for lysosomal dysfunction in IDD. The lipid composition changes in the lysosomal membrane, mediated by PLA2G15, are the cause of LMP. The C/EBPα significantly promotes PLA2G15 expression under PA overload stress. Inhibition of PLA2G15 alleviates PA‐induced LMP by inhibiting the hydrolysis of lysosomal membrane phospholipids.

TFAP2C is a key regulator of intrauterine trophoblast cell invasion and deep hemochorial placentation

JCI Insight
Transcription 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 ...

Caesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy: A Case Study

Sonography, Volume 13, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) occurs when a blastocyst implants into the residual scar from a previous caesarean section delivery, in the anterior lower uterine segment. In this region the endometrium is thin or absent, and may represent a dehiscence of the mucosal margin of the myometrium, with implantation into the myometrium ...

Stepwise strategy for generating human trophoblast stem-like cells from embryonic stem cells reveals specific role of TFAP2C in acquiring self-renewability

Scientific Reports
Human trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) can self-renew and differentiate into major trophoblast lineages. Although TSC-like cells can be derived from both naïve and primed pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), the mechanisms governing the conversion of PSCs into a ...
