A diligent effort was made to carefully dissect chorionic villi from placental tissue as well as tissue from fetal parts. An enzyme mixture consisting of collagenase, hyauronidase, and DNAase was ...

Medically reviewed by Robert Burakoff, MD Intestinal villi (singular: villus)are tiny, finger-like projections that line the interior (lumen) of the small intestine. The primary function of villi is ...

Their focus was on the endothelial cells from the area of the mouse placenta that corresponds to the chorionic villi in humans. The team found that in the normally formed placenta, the activity of ...
