During pregnancy, the trophoblast, supporting the main functions of the placenta, develops from the fusion of cytotrophoblastic cells into a syncytiotrophoblast. Gap junction channels consisting of connexins link the cytosols of cells in contact. Gap junctional communication has been involved in the

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exerts a number of biological effects, the most frequently cited being induction of cell differentiation. The compound also increases invasiveness and metastatic potential. In contrast to the many reports of DMSO-induced cell differentiation, we report here that DMSO inhibi
## Abstract Due to the key role of the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) in placental development, the aim of this study was to characterize the human trophoblastic luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor (LH/CGβR) and to investigate its expression using the in vitro model of h
