Many long held ideas about Placental Development are wrong: a conversation with Dr. Graham Burton, PhD

The uterus has really lurked in the shadows of gestational research. We imagined that it was just a place where the fertilized egg decided to settle and grow. But recent research has recast the uterus in a more prominent role. To hear about how this research has overturned what we thought about pregnancy and placental function, I talked with a biologist who has focused on this topic for much of his career. A better understanding of the role of the uterus and how the placenta and uterus encourage each other's development in early pregnancy could help us understand infertility, miscarriage and maybe the genesis of some significant pregnancy complications.You can find Dr. Graham Burton's work here: https://www.trophoblast.cam.ac.uk/people/grahamburton
