Article Synopsis
- Studying the placenta is essential for understanding pregnancy issues, but imaging it is tough due to its size and motion.
- Researchers developed an implantable placenta window in mice for clear imaging, allowing them to monitor placental development throughout pregnancy using advanced techniques.
- The study provided insights into the placenta's response to factors like alcohol and inflammation, and demonstrated the potential for intravital imaging to enhance understanding of pregnancy complications.
