Trophoblast Differentiation Affects Crucial Nutritive Functions of Placental Membrane Transporters
Cytotrophoblasts are progenitor cells that proliferate and fuse to form the multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast layer, implicated in placental endocrine and transport functions. While membrane transporters play a critical role in the distribution of nutrients, hormones, and xenobiotics at the materna...
