Placenta-On-A-Chip Developed To Understand Preterm Births

Researchers have developed a microfluidic device that mimics that placental barrier, paving the way for a better understanding of how infections are linked to preterm delivery.

Placental Microvilli ‘Grow’ With The Flow

Researchers discovered that shear forces caused by fluid flow in the mother’s body are key to microvilli formation and subsequent cell function in the placenta.
