Six placenta permeability-related genes: molecular characterization and expression analysis in pigs

The nutrient transportation ability of placenta depends on placental size, vascular density and permeability. Regulation of angiogenesis in the placenta is critical for successful gestation. Placenta vascularity exhibits disparity in different gestation stages and different pig breeds. To investigat...
