Precise extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion is crucial for successful placentation and pregnancy. This review focuses on elucidating the mechanisms that promote heightened EVT invasion. We comprehensively summarize the pivotal roles of hormones, angiogenesis, hypoxia, stress, the extracellular matrix microenvironment, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), immunity, inflammation, programmed cell death, epigenetic modifications, and microbiota in facilitating EVT invasion. The molecular mechanisms underlying enhanced EVT invasion may provide valuable insights into potential pathogenic mechanisms associated with diseases characterized by excessive invasion, such as the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), thereby offering novel perspectives for managing pregnancy complications related to deficient EVT invasion.

Inappropriate type I interferon (IFN) signaling during embryo implantation and placentation is linked to poor pregnancy outcomes. Here, we evaluate the consequence of elevated type I IFN exposure on implantation using a human implantation in an organ-on-a-chip device. We reveal that type I IFN reduces extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion capacity.

Background And Objective: Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe gestational disorder characterized by sudden hypertension and proteinuria, with substantial risks to both mother and fetus. This study aims to delineate the role of neprilysin, a metalloprotease known for its role in modulating vasoactive peptides, in the pathophysiology of PE.

Methods: We recruited a cohort of 57 participants, comprising 38 patients diagnosed with PE and 19 healthy controls, matched for demographic and clinical characteristics.

The variable use of heparin through intravenous bolus and flush fluid systems during endovascular stroke treatment, a world-wide survey.

CVIR Endovasc

March 2025

Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Maastricht University Medical Center+ and CARIM, School for Cardiovascular Diseases, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Background: The total amount of heparin administered through flush fluids in stroke patients is not considered in recent trials, possibly influencing main results. We investigated the use of heparin among treating physicians worldwide.

Methods: We conducted a survey from November 2022 to January 2023 to identify the variability of heparin administration during stroke endovascular treatment (EVT).

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived, membrane-bound vesicles that carry molecular cargo to facilitate communication between cells. During pregnancy, EVs are secreted by the syncytiotrophoblast layer of the placenta villi, where they mediate the functions of resident leukocytes and invading extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) in the decidua. This study aims to isolate placental EVs (pEVs) from placental explant to examine their regulatory roles on EVT and endothelial cell functions.

Introduction: Renal oncocytoma (RO) is an uncommon benign neoplasm of the kidney, while eosinophilic vacuolated tumor (EVT) represents a distinct subtype of renal oncocytoma characterized by specific morphological features. EVT is a rare eosinophilic renal neoplasm distinguished by its unique morphological, immunophenotypic, and molecular genetic attributes. Its biological behavior is generally indolent, and it is associated with a favorable prognosis.
