The extravillous trophoblast cell lineage is a key feature of placentation and successful pregnancy. Knowledge of transcriptional regulation driving extravillous trophoblast cell development is limited.

NK cells, hypoxia and trophoblast cell differentiation [PDF]
Hemochorial placentation is characterized by extensive remodeling of the maternal vasculature, converting them to flaccid low resistance vessels. This process greatly facilitates exchange of nutrients and gases between the mother and the fetus. Two key modulators that orchestrate these vascular changes have been identified at the maternal fetal ...

N-glycans of human amniotic fluid transferrin stimulate progesterone production in human first trimester trophoblast cells in vitro [PDF]
Aims: During pregnancy, the placenta produces a variety of steroid hormones and proteins. Several of these substances have been shown to exert immunomodulatory effects.

Stimulation of hCG protein and mRNA in first trimester villous cytotrophoblast cells in vitro by glycodelin A [PDF]
Aim: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by fetal trophoblast cells and secreted into maternal circulation mainly in the first trimester of pregnancy.

NOSTRIN: A novel modulator of trophoblast giant cell differentiation
Differentiation-dependent expression of NOSTRIN in murine trophoblast cells prompted investigation on NOSTRIN's function in trophoblast differentiation. We show here that NOSTRIN levels increased in both mouse and rat placenta during gestation.

A Unique Expression of Keratin 14 in a Subset of Trophoblast Cells. [PDF]
The placenta, a transient organ in human, is essential for pregnancy maintenance and for fetal growth and development. Trophoblast and stromal cells are the main cell types present in human placenta.

Induction of human trophoblast stem cells
Cell reprogramming has allowed unprecedented access to human development, from virtually any genome. However, reprogramming yields pluripotent stem cells that can differentiate into all cells that form a fetus, but not extraembryonic annexes. Therefore, a cellular model allowing study of placental development from a broad genomic repertoire is lacking.

A survey of existing data suggests that trophoblast cells produce factors involved in extracellular matrix degradation. In this study, we correlated the expression of cathepsins D and B in the murine ectoplacental cone with the ultrastructural progress ...

Multipotency of mouse trophoblast stem cells [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundIn a number of disease processes, the body is unable to repair injured tissue, promoting the need to develop strategies for tissue repair and regeneration, including the use of cellular therapeutics. Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) are considered putative stem cells as they differentiate into other subtypes of trophoblast cells.
