Reduced placental protein 13 (PP13) in placental derived syncytiotrophoblast extracellular vesicles in preeclampsia – A novel tool to study the impaired cargo transmission of the placenta to the maternal organs

Placental syncytiotrophoblast (STB) release extracellular vesicles (STB-EVs) that communicate physiological and pathological placental signals to the maternal organs. STB-EV release also increases in preeclampsia (PE). Here we explored the cargo of PP13 in STB-EVs from PE versus control placentas.
