    A Microphysiological Model of Human Trophoblast Invasion during Implantation

    Scientists developed an implantation-on-a-chip that was capable of reconstructing the 3D structural organization of the maternal-fetal interface to model the invasion of specialized fetal extravillous trophoblasts into the maternal uterus.

    Creation of GMP-Compliant iPSCs From Banked Umbilical Cord Blood

    Researchers described a protocol that can be adopted by those seeking to create clinical-grade induced pluripotent stem cells from banked cord blood. Cells were maintained in a feeder-free, xeno-free environment, using fully defined, commercially available reagents.

    Trophoblast Cell Subtypes and Dysfunction in the Placenta of Individuals with Preeclampsia Revealed by Single‑Cell RNA Sequencing

    Investigators gained insight into the cell type-specific transcriptomic changes by performing unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing of placental tissue samples, including those of patients diagnosed with preeclampsia and matched healthy controls.

    Abstract

    Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Delivery of miR-127-3p Inhibits the Proliferation and Invasion of Choriocarcinoma Cells by Targeting ITGA6

    Scientists studied the effects of miR-127-3p-enriched extracellular vesicles on choriocarcinoma and underlying mechanisms.

    Abstract

    Effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Placental Cells

    Investigators showed that anthracene, benzofluoranthene, benzopyrene, and 4,4-(9-fluorenylidene)diphenol — a bisphenol A substitute — affected cell viability and necrosis in the placental cell line.

    Abstract

    Repertoire of Glycan-Binding Placenta-Associated Antibodies in Healthy Pregnancy and in Preeclampsia

    Scientists attempted to characterize the specificity of antibodies isolated from placentas of women with healthy pregnancy and preeclampsia and found that the repertoire of placental antibodies was significantly less variable and qualitatively different from the peripheral blood.

    Abstract

    Extracellular Vesicles as Theranostic Tools in Kidney Disease

    Extracellular vesicles derived from reparative cells, such as MSCs, tubular epithelial progenitor cells, and human umbilical cord blood represent promising regenerative tools for treatment of kidney diseases.
