Description

Originally published in 2006, this book provides an in-depth account of trophoblast: the tissue derived from the fertilised egg that nourishes and protects the developing fetus.

The cells of the trophoblast have many unique qualities, and exhibit great variability across different species.

It has a fascinating role in the development of the placenta and as a regulator during early growth of the embryo.

These aspects are all fully covered as well as studies on why it is not rejected by the mother as 'foreign' tissue.

Disorders of trophoblast during development also manifest themselves in several clinical conditions during pregnancy, including gestational trophoblastic disease and pre-eclampsia.

From stem cells through to epigenetics, implantation and X-chromosome inactivation, there is a lot to be learned about trophoblast, this volume provides a detailed summary of knowledge regarding the subject.
