This study characterizes cytotrophoblast dynamics during pregnancy using single-cell RNA sequencing, identifying distinct subsets and their functional roles.

This paper introduces two mouse embryoid models to study interactions between primitive endoderm and epiblast during early development, showing they replicate in vivo dynamics and cell fate decisions.

This study uses MeD-seq to profile methylation in maternal cfDNA, identifying placental-specific methylation marks and 436 DMRs between pregnant and non-pregnant women.
