This NIH-funded project investigates the role of the endogenous retroviral family IAP in placentation, focusing on its biological functions at the maternal-fetal interface in mice, with implications for understanding genome function during pregnancy.
Description
The project aims to understand how the endogenous retroviral family, IAP, functions at the mouse maternal-fetal interface, including its roles in placental development and maternal-fetal communication. The research involves studying extracellular vesicles, retrotransposition, gene regulation, and placental biology, conducted at Stanford University.
