- Description
- Villous trophoblast differentiation is critical for human placental morphogenesis. A key event in villous differentiation is the fusion of progenitor cytotrophoblasts to form a giant multinucleate syncytium, the syncytiotrophoblast. We have identified conserved and unique roles for the cell polarity proteins atypical protein kinase-c and ezrin in the regulation of cytotrophoblast fusion using human first trimester placental explants and organoids.
