New stem cell models reveal how earliest human placenta structures take shape
The placenta is essential for a healthy pregnancy, but the earliest steps of its formation have been hidden from scientific view. Now Columbia researchers led by Mijo Simunovic have created lab-grown organoids that reconstruct the earliest steps in human placenta formation, offering a powerful new tool for studying how pregnancy begins and why it often fails. The development of the 3D models is…
