Nice work. A reminder to placentologists: horses unlike humans or mice have a large allantoic sac. IFPA

We have a great postdoc opportunity in the lab to study recently discovered placental nanopores (see doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…). Transferable skills in imaging, physiology and NMR-based metabolomics are on offer! Apply here jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

Very proud of my students for putting together this comprehensive review on cell-free placental DNA. We found that current reviews focus on clinical utility. Here we focus on basic science or cell-free placental DNA, what we know and current knowledge gaps journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Davis did you get the placenta?

Yet many mammals with invasive placentation mate post partum including guinea pigs and their kin.
