Investigations of cellular stress-responsive proteins and PGF gene expression in human trophoblast

Placenta growth factor (PGF) expression is downregulated in preeclampsia (PE), a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiology of PE is thought to be manifested by a poorly perfused placenta hampered by hypoxic stress. Two stress-mediate angiogenic responses include post-tra...
