Calcium deficient placental growth restriction is mediated by an increase in non-invasive integrin α5 and β4 phenotype

ConclusionsThe in vitro trophoblast cell integration into endothelial cellular networks could be modified by altering media calcium through integrin switch away from integrins α5 and β4 and towards integrin α1 which may be required for healthy early trophoblast integration.
