Description
Trophoblast. Fluorescence deconvolution micrograph highlighting the mitochondria (yellow) in a trophoblast cell. Trophoblasts are the first cells to differentiate from a fertilised egg (ovum), forming the outer layer of the blastocyst, an early stage of embryo formation. The trophoblast layer eventually forms the placenta. Cell nuclei (blue) have been highlighted with a DAPI stain.
