“They discovered that a gene called VGLL1 (vestigial like family member 1) was turned on very early during placenta formation. It was key to the process of turning pluripotent stem cells into various types of placental stem cells”

Researchers uncover the earliest stages of human placenta formation

A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the developing fetus with what it needs to thrive during gestation.

Histoire de chien: Un Pug nommé Placenta
Et non..
Ce n'est pas une blague, une bonne connaissance s'est fait imposée un chien par sa douce moitié.
Quand il l'a vue la première fois; Yechhh! T'as ramassé le placenta au lieu du chien?
Il ronfle comme un tracteur, râle et crie comme une fillette.
Il est tellement laid qu'il en est beau.
C'est un membre de sa famille bien intégré maintenant. 😋

“When the researchers removed either protein from placental cells, the cells no longer fused during placental development”

“Huang and colleagues used proximity labeling to map galectin-3 binding in lab-grown cells derived from human placental tissue. Two proteins stood out that galectin-3 consistently attached to: CD9 and integrin beta 1 (ITGB1).”
