As the placenta is a central determinant of fetal development, its structure and function may have long-term influences on health (Burton et al., 2016). As a selective barrier to the maternal environment and gatekeeper to the supply of oxygen and nutrients, placental structure and function are...
Since a growing body of evidence also underscores the importance of placental development in the lifelong health of both mother and offspring, this lack of knowledge about placental structure and function is particularly concerning. Given modern approaches and technologies and the ability ...

As women with type 2 DM are often obese and obesity is associated with altered placental structure and function32,33,34,35 and altered fetal growth36,37, placentas were obtained from two groups of women without DM – those with a BMI < 30 and women that were obese (BMI ≥ 30...

These morphological changes may be associated with abnormal placen- tal structure and function. By the methods of whole placenta transcriptomics, we characterized that lipid metabolism may be affected in FGR placentas based on the enrichment analysis and expression identifica- tion of the DE mRNAs (...
In this special issue of Placenta, the placenta metabolism and function are analysed by several experts highlighting structure-function relationships in a healthy or unhealthy pregnancy. Also, summaries of key findings regarding the potential effects to the foetus and newborn, as well as the mother ...
