Journal ArticleDOI
Animal models of human placentation - : A review
TL;DR: It is concluded that continued research on non-human primates is needed to clarify embryonic-endometrial interactions and models that are likely to be established in the wake of comparative genomics include the marmoset, tree shrew, hedgehog tenrec and nine-banded armadillo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative aspects of trophoblast development and placentation.
TL;DR: It is argued that a definitive epitheliochorial placenta is a secondary specialization and that it evolved twice,once in the Laurasiatheria and once in the lemurs and lorises.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Placental Function in Mammals: The Molecular Basis of Gas and Nutrient Transfer, Hormone Secretion, and Immune Responses
TL;DR: Coevolution in the primate lineage of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors and human leukocyte antigens can be linked to the deep invasion of the uterus by trophoblast that is a characteristic feature of human placentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal patterns of expression of messenger RNA for insulin-like growth factors and their binding proteins in the placenta of man and laboratory animals.
TL;DR: Comparative studies will continue to be required to understand the functional role of IGFs and IGFBPs in each species, and to highlight the diversity in the expression of the IGF system among placentae of man and different laboratory animals, and even between closely related species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary transformations of fetal membrane characters in Eutheria with special reference to Afrotheria
Andrea Mess,Anthony M. Carter +1 more
TL;DR: A reconstruction of the evolution of characters associated with placentation, the fetal membranes and the female reproductive tract is attempted and it is possible to identify morphological characters that could be synapomorphic for this novel taxon Afrotheria.
