It is increasingly clear that the placenta is pivotal to pregnancy success in women, agricultural species and all other viviparous species. Poor placental trophoblast invasion and impaired placental function are implicated in a continuum of human pregnancy complications. In agricultural species poor placental efficiency reduces birth weight and survival. This meeting will highlight cutting edge placental research from around the world. More…
