Giant cells are a prominent feature of placentation in cricetid rodents. Once thought to be maternal in origin, they are now known to be trophoblast giant cells (TGCs). The large size of cricetid TGCs and their nuclei reflects a high degree of polyploidy. While some TGCs are found at fixed locations...
