NUMB and Syncytiotrophoblast Development and Function: Investigation Using BeWo Choriocarcinoma Cells

The role of NUMB, a protein important for cellular differentiation and endocytosis in non-placental cells, was investigated in syncytiotrophoblast development and function in the human placenta. The BeWo choriocarcinoma cell line was used as a model for villous cytotrophoblast cells and syncytiotrop...
