Introduction: During pregnancy, fetal stem cells can transfer to the maternal circulation and participate in tissue repair. How they transmigrate across maternal endothelial barriers and whether they can subsequently influence maternal endothelial in...

An international network (PlaNet) to evaluate a human placental testing platform for chemicals safety testing in pregnancy. Reproductive Toxicology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reprotox.2016.06.006

tThe human placenta is a critical life-support system that nourishes and protects a rapidly growing fetus; aunique organ, species specific in structure and function. We consider the pressing challenge of providingadditional advice on the safety of pr...
