Autophagy in the Regulation of Placental Development: From Trophoblast Differentiation to Metabolic Stress Adaptation

Successful pregnancy depends on precise placental development, where trophoblast differentiation, syncytialization, invasion, and adaptation to metabolic stress are critical. Autophagy, a lysosome-mediated degradation pathway, has emerged as an important regulator of cellular hom...
