Eutherian mammals share a common ancestor that evolved into two main placental types, i.e., hemotrophic (e.g., human and mouse) and histiotrophic (e.g., farm animals), which differ in invasiveness. Pregnancies initiated ...

The histomorphometric and proliferative characteristics of the collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu) placenta and uterus were analyzed. The material was examined by standard histological techniques and histochemistry (PAS, ...

Feto-maternal immune transfer occurs via both the placenta in utero and colostrum after birth. The layers between the maternal and fetal circulation systems, known as the placental barrier, regulate immune transfer to the ...
