The placenta is the interface between the mother and her baby, which means it is not only key to a successful pregnancy, it determines the future health of every one of us.
New insights into pregnancy are resulting from research on the interaction between mother and fetus at the placental interface.
A new centre which will research the vital biological interactions between a mother and her fetus launched today, Wednesday 9 July, at the University of Cambridge.
Most pregnancies develop normally but when complications arise they can have devastating effects. Two recent initiatives in Cambridge hope to deliver a new understanding of events during this critical period of human life.
