Bovine trophoblastic cell differentiation and binucleation involves enhanced endogenous retrovirus element expression
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) envelope (env) genes are involved in the differentiation of trophoblastic cells in humans and mice. However, there is limited information about their roles in ruminant trophoblastic cells. Thus, we attempt...
