Introduction: We investigated whether placental tissue sampling site influences placental
protein expression outcomes. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF165 and …

Background The placenta is a highly specialized temporary organ that is related to fetal
development and pregnancy outcomes, and epidemiological data demonstrate an …

Introduction: In human placenta, two different branching patterns of chorionic blood vessels
exist. In the dispersal type, the chorionic blood vessels undergo successive divisions with …

Objective: We have explored the interactions of three placental angiogenic proteins at each
trimester of normal human pregnancy: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) VEGF165 …

Objective To identify differences in the transcriptomic profiles during placentation from
pregnancies conceived spontaneously vs. those with infertility using non-in vitro fertilization …

We sought to identify proteins secreted by the human placenta into the maternal and fetal
circulations. Blood samples from the maternal radial artery and uterine vein and umbilical …

Background: The Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research piloted the
development of Project PLACENTA (P ath L ink Ac quired g E statio N al T issue b A nk) …

Objective Current guidelines recommend collecting placental specimens within two hours of
delivery for gene expression analysis. However, collecting samples in a narrow time window …

INTRODUCTION: The pregnancy complications preeclampsia, gestational hypertension,
small for gestational age infants (SGA) and pre-term birth (PTB) affect approximately 21% of …

Background: The placenta is a complex organ that plays a vital role not only in nutrient
transfer but also in directing maternal and fetal physiological processes across pregnancy …
