Background Extravillous trophoblast cell (EVT) differentiation and its communication with
maternal decidua especially the leading immune cell type natural killer (NK) cell are critical …

During human pregnancy, placenta-derived extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) invade the
decidua and communicate with maternal immune cells. The decidua distinguishes into …

During pregnancy, conceptus-derived extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invades the
endomyometrium, anchors the placenta to the maternal uterus, and remodels the spiral …

During pregnancy, the migration and invasion of extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) into the
maternal uterus is essential for proper development of the placenta and fetus. During the first …

Placenta-specific trophoblast and tumor cells exhibit many common characteristics.
Trophoblast cells invade maternal tissues while being tolerated by the maternal immune …

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by novel
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in a global …

Steroid hormones play a crucial role in supporting a successful pregnancy and ensuring
proper fetal development. The placenta is one of the principal tissues in steroid production …

The effect of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) on human early maternal–fetal interface is
unknown. We explored the association between maternal exposure to ambient PM 2.5 and …

Early pregnancy is a complex and well-orchestrated differentiation process that involves all
the cellular elements of the fetal-maternal interface. Aberrant trophoblast-decidual …

Background: The placenta is an important organ for fetal and maternal health during
pregnancy and impacts offspring health late in life. Defects in placental vasculature and …
