Marmoset trophoblast stem cells model shallow embryo implantation
4 October 2024
Scientists have developed a pioneering method to culture marmoset placental cells in the lab, offering new insights into embryo implantation. Unlike human embryos, which implant deeply into the uterus, marmoset embryos undergo a much shallower implantation. This research opens up new avenues for understanding the...
