These models will allow researchers to explain why pregnancy is healthy and how certain diseases go from mother to fetus. According to Reuters.
The human placenta provides the fetus with everything it needs to produce oxygen and nutrients. If she does not do her job properly, the pregnancy may not end with the birth of a dead fetus, abortion or birth of children with developmental problems.
Ashley Moffett, a professor of pathology, physiology, growth and neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, explains that the placenta is very important to the fetus as it develops in the womb.
She told reporters "She is the first member to grow but also the least understood".
The field of biological sciences has evolved over the last few years as research teams grew everything from the smallest brains to the livers to the micro-lungs and used them to learn about human biology and diseases.
The Cambridge University team, which published its latest work in the journal Nature, began its efforts to develop human placenta cells for more than 30 years, while Moffitt and his colleagues were studying cell development in Canada. during the first weeks of pregnancy.
The team was able to gradually develop methods to isolate and characterize chorionic cells and eventually found the right combination of cell and graft assembly to create miniature placenta models. Moffett says, "We have been trying to do this for years."
Mini-cell models can also be used to safely examine drugs that can be used early in pregnancy, and how chromosomal abnormalities can hinder normal growth.
