Probing the evolutionary diversity of placental development: Francesca Soncin explores a @plosbiology.org study that provides a spatial transcriptomic characterization of the porcine #placenta, developing a new swine trophoblast #organoid model 🧪 Paper: plos.io/47jf3yd Primer: plos.io/3HZodFB

In vitro model of porcine placental development: @crm110.bsky.social &co develop a swine trophoblast #organoid model that mimics in vivo #trophoblast diversity & gene expression, providing a platform for studying #placental biology & #MaternalFetalInteractions @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/47jf3yd

Thank to Dr. Francesca Soncin for writing this great primer on our paper! Check it out now on @plosbiology.org

Super excited to share my latest paper examining the pig placenta!

Fresh off the press! (Ok two days ago but I missed it…🤷‍♂️). Super proud to have contributed to this great paper led by Macy Pell and Shannon Manning. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Super excited to share this new preprint from our lab describing the Jamaican fruit bat placenta! 🦇 Here we analyzed the bat placenta by snRNAseq, compared it to the human and murine placenta to identify unique features, and developed bat placental & decidual organoids for use as models!

🚨 New pre-print! 🚨 Super excited to be a part of this cool project led by Allyson Caldwell, @becca-casazza.bsky.social and Henry Yang! Who would have thought the bat placenta would be so cool?! 🦇

Research on the development, physiology, and pathophysiology of reproduction is of great importance for understanding fertility and health. Explore the latest in our new #ReproductiveHealth Special Issue.

Starting off 2025 strong with a new publication! #GBS @acspublications.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

A potential new mRNA-based therapy for pre-eclampsia is demonstrated in a mouse study published in Nature. The method involves targeted delivery of mRNA to the placenta to restore normal maternal blood pressure and improve foetal health. 🧪
