Title
Isolation and characterization of trophoblast stem cells from human placenta
Research overview
Aims: Establishing trophoblast stem cells from the human term placenta contributes to elucidating the pathophysiology of placenta-related pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia, which commonly occur in late pregnancy.
Methods: RNA sequencing
Targets: Three trophoblast stem cell (Ch-TS) lines derived from the chorion of term placentas from three individuals, as well as differentiated extravillous trophoblast cells (Ch-EVT) and syncytiotrophoblast cells (Ch-ST). Additionally, three trophoblast stem cell lines obtained from RIKEN BRC (CT27, CT29, bTS5) and their differentiated extravillous trophoblast cells and syncytiotrophoblast cells.
