AbstractBackground: The placenta is vital for fetal development and its contributions to various developmental issues, such as pregnancy complications, fetal growth restriction, and maternal exposure, have been extensively studied in mice. Contrary to popular belief, the placenta forms mainly from fetal tissue; therefore, it has the same biological sex as the fetus it supports.
