Reproductive scientist Violeta Stojanovska researches complex three-dimensional cell models of the placenta that are represented by the trophoblasts. The trophoblasts are responsible for the implantation and nutrient delivery to the embryo. Violeta Stojanovka uses these cell models to analyse the influence of chemicals on pregnancy development: For example, which chemicals are dangerous? Which chemicals influence the trophoblast cell function and endanger the health of the mother and the growing babies? Every year, the industry brings 2,000 new chemicals onto the market. According to Violeta Stojanovska, all new chemicals should be tested for their effects on pregnancies. However, this is not currently the case. Violeta Stojanovska and her team would also like to further perfect the trophoblast cell models by implementing parts of the vascular system.

Die Trophoblasten sind für die Einnistung und die Nährstoffversorgung des Embryos verantwortlich. Violeta Stojanovka nutzt diese Zellmodelle, um den Einfluss von Chemikalien auf die Entwicklung der Schwangerschaft zu analysieren: Welche Chemikalien sind zum Beispiel gefährlich? Welche Chemikalien beeinflussen die Funktion der Trophoblastenzellen und gefährden die Gesundheit der Mutter und der heranwachsenden Babys? Jedes Jahr bringt die Industrie 2.000 neue Chemikalien auf den Markt. Nach Ansicht von Violeta Stojanovska sollten alle neuen Chemikalien auf ihre Auswirkungen auf die Schwangerschaft getestet werden. Dies ist jedoch derzeit nicht der Fall. Violeta Stojanovska und ihr Team möchten auch die Trophoblastenzellmodelle weiter perfektionieren, indem sie Teile des Gefäßsystems einbauen. Produced by In One Media in Leipzig on behalf of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ (2023).
