Histology of Human Placenta
نویسنده
چکیده
The placenta is a key organ for pregnancy evolution and fetal growth. Placental anatomic abnormalities may affect the placental functions, interfering in turn with maternal and or fetal wellbeing. This chapter describes the placental development, the macroscopic aspect and the histological characteristics through the gestation. The aim of this chapter is to provide updated information to help clinicians to distinguish between normal or abnormal placenta, to improve understanding of pregnancy outcome pathophysiology.

Human Trophoblast Progenitor Cells Express and Release Angiogenic Factors
Trophoblast stem cells develop from polar trophoectoderm and give rise to the cells that generate the placenta. Trophoblast cells are responsible for the uterinal invasion and vascular remodeling during the implantation of the embryo. However this knowledge is not yet to be confirmed for trophoblast progenitor cells (TPCs). In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that human TPCs (hTPCs) express ...

CCM2 and CCM3 proteins contribute to vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in human placenta.
Placenta as an ideal model to study angiogenic mechanisms have been established in previous studies. There are two processes, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, involved in blood vessel formation during placental development. Therefore, blood vessel formation is a crucial issue that might cause vascular malformations. One of the vascular malformations is cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) in t...

We examined the relationship between placental histology and thrombophilia status in women who were admitted with severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, placental abruption, intrauterine growth restriction or unexplained stillbirth. All women had thrombophilia screen at least 10 weeks after delivery (antithrombin III, protein C, protein S, activated protein C resistance, anticardiolipin antibodies, lu...
متن کاملGlypican-3 (GPC3) expression in human placenta: localization to the differentiated syncytiotrophoblast.
The expression of glypican-3 (GPC3), a heparan-sulfate proteoglycan associated with the Simpson-Golabi-Behmel fetal overgrowth syndrome, was studied in normal human placental tissue and cell lines derived from human placentae. Cytotrophoblasts derived from term placentae expressed GPC3 mRNA at low levels in culture. GPC3 mRNA expression increased markedly during trophoblast differentiation. By ...
