Extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs) secreted by the uterine cavity may help overcome
limitations associated with prenatal testing currently in use. EVTs are isolated using a …

BACKGROUND Early during human development, the trophoblast lineage differentiates to
commence placentation. Where the placenta contacts the uterine decidua, extravillous …

Trophoblasts retrieval and isolation from the cervix (TRIC) is a non-invasive method which
enables analysis of fetal genetic information from the extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs) …

BACKGROUND Fetal cells are shed from the regressing chorionic villi and it is possible to
retrieve extravillous cytotrophoblast cells by transcervical sampling. The abundance of …

Extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) have the potential to provide the entire fetal genome for
prenatal testing. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of EVTs in the cervical …

Objective To examine the expression pattern of biomarker proteins in extravillous
trophoblast (EVT) cells obtained noninvasively by trophoblast retrieval and isolation from the …

Objective To use trophoblast cells accumulating in the endocervical canal at the beginning
of pregnancy for noninvasive prenatal testing. Design Prospective, double-blinded test for …

As the prevalence of pregnancies with advanced maternal age increases, the risk of fetal
chromosomal abnormalities is on the rise. Therefore, prenatal genetic screening and …

Trophoblast cells are the first embryonic lineage to differentiate during human development,
and are needed to sustain fetal life through their role in constructing a placenta. As the fetus …

Objective To identify trophoblastic cells retrieved from the cervix at a gestational age (GA) of
5–9 weeks by a noninvasive modality in fetuses. Method Transcervical cells (TCCs) were …
