Abstract Pregnancies complicated by severe, early-onset fetal growth restriction with abnormal Doppler velocimetry (FGRadv) have a sparse villous vascular tree secondary to impaired angiogenesis. As endothelial cell (EC) and stromal matrix interactions are key regulators of angiogenesis, we investigated the role placental on fetoplacental EC We developed novel model generating fibroblast (FB) cell-derived matrices (CDMs), allowing us interrogate placenta-specific human their effects found...
ABSTRACT Placentas from pregnancies complicated by severe early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) exhibit diminished vascular development mediated impaired angiogenesis, but underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we show that FGR endothelial cells demonstrate inherently reduced migratory capacity despite the presence of fibronectin, a matrix protein abundant in placental stroma displays abnormal organization placentas. Thus, hypothesized aberrant endothelial-fibronectin...
