United we stand not dividing: The syncytiotrophoblast and cell senescence

Goldman-Wohl, D., Yagel, S.·2014·Placenta

Abstract

The multinucleate syncytiotrophoblast of the human placenta is responsible for transport functions between maternal and fetal blood supplies and is a major site of protein synthesis and steroid production. It is formed by cell fusion of the underlying cytotrophoblast cells. The nuclei of the multinucleate syncytiotrophoblast are non-mitotic yet the mechanism of cell cycle arrest in the syncytiotrophoblast is not known. The recent publication by the group of Krizhanovsky (2013), demonstrates that cell fusion induces cell senescence. The work reported the exciting finding that term placenta syncytiotrophoblast displays markers associated with cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is perhaps best known as a component of aging, a response to stress and an important factor in preventing tumor cell growth. The aforementioned study suggests myriad avenues of investigation in placental biology with intriguing possibilities to furthering our understanding of placental development and aging, health of pregnancy and placental pathologies having their origin in placental stress.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
