Sommario/riassunto

The Placenta: From Development to Disease examines research into placental function and its clinical implications to provide a springboard for improving clinical practice and enhancing medical research. Influential information is extracted from the compelling narrative by the use of 'take home' features including: Clinical Pearls - point to important issues in clinical practiceResearch Spotlights - highlight key insights into placental understandingTeaching Points - explain basic concepts for novice readers The Placenta: From Development to Disease is ideal
