... of a functional placenta. Inadequate or impaired developmental events linked to trophoblasts directly impact early embryo survival and successful implantation during a crucial period that corresponds with high incidence of pregnancy losses in dairy cows. As yet, the molecular basis of bovine trophectoderm...

...Carrie J. Shawber; Dex-Ann Brown-Grant; Tracy Wu; Jan K. Kitajewski; Nataki C. Douglas ABSTRACT Proper development and function of the mammalian placenta requires interactions between embryo-derived trophoblasts and uterine endothelial cells to form mosaic vessels that facilitate blood flow...

... hematopoietic development is as yet unknown. We show here that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differentially express α IIb β 3 and α v β 3 integrins throughout development. Whereas the first HSCs generated in the aorta at mid-gestation express both integrins, HSCs from the placenta only express α v β 3...
