ABSTRACT
Cytotrophoblast cells fuse to form the syncytiotrophoblast, the main structure responsible for the placenta's specialized functions. This complex process denominated syncytialization is fundamental for a correct pregnancy outcome. We observed that the endocannabinoid anandamide disrupts syncytialization employing traditional techniques and flow cytometry in BeWo cell line.
