Abstract

The placenta is a dynamic, short-lived organ, and many features of its epigenome are unique among human tissues. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Zhang et al. define new aspects of epigenetic regulation in normal and disease-associated placental cells and relate them to the specialized biological requirements of this organ.
