Bovine trophoblastic cell differentiation and binucleation involves enhanced endogenous retrovirus element expression
Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) envelope (env) genes are involved in the differentiation of trophoblastic cells in humans and mice. The paper attempts to explore the possible roles of endogenous retrovirus (ERV) elements in the binucleation of bovine trophoblastic cells using in vitro bovine trophoblastic (BT) cell lines.
