    The confluence of maternal and fetal tissues to form the placenta causes a wide variety of alterations in cells of both origins. Three closely related primate species were studied for similarities and differences in the interrelationships formed during various stages of placental development in the areas of implantation, decidualization, and trophoblastic involvement in the spiral arteries. Although certain similarities exist among the three species a surprising number of distinct differences were found to shed doubt on the common practice of assuming species-to-species similarity, particularly among primates.

    Transcytosis of IgG01:15

    Transcytosis of IgG

    Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
    IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

    Teratogenicity

    The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
