Blastocyst

The blastocyst is a structure formed in the early development of mammals.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Cell cycle

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells.

Choriocarcinoma

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant, trophoblastic cancer, usually of the placenta.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Choriocarcinoma · See more »

Chorionic villi

Chorionic villi are villi that sprout from the chorion to provide maximum contact area with maternal blood.

Decidua

The decidua is the uterine lining (endometrium) during a pregnancy, which forms the maternal part of the placenta.

Decorin

Decorin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCN gene.

Edema

Edema, also spelled oedema or œdema, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, located beneath the skin and in the cavities of the body, which can cause severe pain.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Edema · See more »

Endometrium

The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Endometrium · See more »

Epidermal growth factor

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates cell growth and differentiation by binding to its receptor, EGFR.

Glucocorticoid

Glucocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones.

Human chorionic gonadotropin

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta after implantation.

Implantation (human embryo)

In humans, implantation is the stage of pregnancy at which the already fertilized egg adheres to the wall of the uterus.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Implantation (human embryo) · See more »

In vitro

In vitro (meaning: in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and In vitro · See more »

Intrauterine growth restriction

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to poor growth of a fetus while in the mother's womb during pregnancy.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Intrauterine growth restriction · See more »

Molar pregnancy

Molar pregnancy is an abnormal form of pregnancy in which a non-viable fertilized egg implants in the uterus and will fail to come to term.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Molar pregnancy · See more »

Myometrium

The myometrium is the middle layer of the uterine wall, consisting mainly of uterine smooth muscle cells (also called uterine myocytes), but also of supporting stromal and vascular tissue.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Myometrium · See more »

Phenocopy

A phenocopy is a variation in phenotype (generally referring to a single trait) which is caused by environmental conditions (often, but not necessarily, during the organism's development), such that the organism's phenotype matches a phenotype which is determined by genetic factors.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Phenocopy · See more »

Placenta

The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, thermo-regulation, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply; to fight against internal infection; and to produce hormones which support pregnancy.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Placenta · See more »

Pre-eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and often a significant amount of protein in the urine.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Pre-eclampsia · See more »

Proteinuria

Proteinuria is the presence of excess proteins in the urine.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Proteinuria · See more »

Spiral artery

Spiral arteries are small arteries which temporarily supply blood to the endometrium of the uterus during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Spiral artery · See more »

Stem cell

Stem cells are biological cells that can differentiate into other types of cells and can divide to produce more of the same type of stem cells.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Stem cell · See more »

Syncytiotrophoblast

Syncytiotrophoblast (from the Greek 'syn'- "together"; 'cytio'- "of cells"; 'tropho'- "nutrition"; 'blast'- "bud") is the epithelial covering of the highly vascular embryonic placental villi, which invades the wall of the uterus to establish nutrient circulation between the embryo and the mother.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast · See more »

Syncytium

A syncytium or symplasm (plural syncytia; from Greek: σύν (syn).

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Syncytium · See more »

Transforming growth factor beta

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine belonging to the transforming growth factor superfamily that includes four different isoforms (TGF-β 1 to 4, HGNC symbols TGFB1, TGFB2, TGFB3, TGFB4) and many other signaling proteins produced by all white blood cell lineages.

New!!: Cytotrophoblast and Transforming growth factor beta · See more »

Trophoblast

Trophoblasts (from Greek trephein: to feed, and blastos: germinator) are cells forming the outer layer of a blastocyst, which provide nutrients to the embryo and develop into a large part of the placenta.
