Identification and estimation of cell types in mixed primary cell cultures of early and term human placenta.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Human decidual stromal cells (DSCs) play a key role in maternal-fetal interactions. Precursors of DSCs (preDSCs) localize around vessels in both the endometrium and decidua. Previous studies suggested a relationship between preDSCs and pericytes because these cells share a perivascular location, alpha smoo...
