Pleased to be involved in this fascinating study providing new insight into the evolution, structure and function of the umbilical cord!

@placresearch @uflorida Well done Helen. Richly deserved. 💐

Otto Grosser: doyen of embryology and national socialist https://t.co/f3LWwV9hy5
Our classification of placentas stems from Grosser's books but there was a darker side to his character. A lesson for today?

Yet many mammals with invasive placentation mate post partum including guinea pigs and their kin.

Curious embryo fact 22/25

Placentation strategies are highly variable amongst species.

Ruminants, such as cattle, sheep, and deer, have evolved less invasive placentas, allowing for a quicker recovery post-birth.

This is crucial for their survival in environments where predators are a constant threat.

Curious embryo fact 20/25

In marsupials, such as kangaroo, koala and wombat, the embryo does not contain an inner cell mass at the blastocyst stage.

Instead, they form an empty sphere!

A selection of outer cells will give rise to the marsupial embryo.

We're celebrating the birth of a rare male okapi calf at Marwell Zoo! The calf's mother, Niari, was born here five years ago to Daphne and Jabari - making this a remarkable third-generation breeding success. ✨

Very proud of my students for putting together this comprehensive review on cell-free placental DNA. We found that current reviews focus on clinical utility. Here we focus on basic science or cell-free placental DNA, what we know and current knowledge gaps https://t.co/xHUDUtnMR5

@drjojames Congratulations. Look forward to hearing more about this project.

Adaptations to high altitude and impact on pregnancy.

A study of over 400 Nepalese women who live 3,500 meters or more above sea level found that those women with many children had multiple genetically linked traits that increase oxygen delivery, an example of natural selection in action. In PNAS: https://t.co/c5CV2ELAjL
