PLACENTA

《胎盘》发表关于人类和动物胎盘各方面的高科学质量的长篇论文和简短通讯。主题包括:发育、结构、生理、代谢、内分泌学、微生物学、病理学、免疫学、药理学、细胞生物学、生物化学和胎盘功能的分子机制。此外，还介绍了胚胎植入、比较胎盘植入、胎盘作为实验模型的使用、滋养层肿瘤、胎盘结构或功能改变的临床方面以及血管供应及其调控的研究。我们欢迎对胎儿和胎胎盘相互作用的研究，只有当它们阐明了一个普遍重要的观点时，个案报告才可接受。科学评论、书评和给编辑的信件也会出版。

Placenta publishes full length papers and short communications of high scientific quality on all aspects of human and animal placenta. Topics covered include: development, structure, physiology, metabolism, endocrinology, microbiology, pathology, immunology, pharmacology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular mechanisms underlying placental function. Studies of implantation, comparative placentation, the use of the placenta as an experimental model, trophoblastic neoplasia, clinical aspects of altered placental structure or function and the study of vascular supply and its regulation are also presented. We welcome studies on the fetus and fetoplacental interactions Single case reports are only acceptable if they illustrate a point of general importance.
