Description: How does the foetus - a foreign body - survive inside the mother? The placenta is the extraordinary organ that allows this to happen; but this remarkable feat of evolution is only just being fully appreciated by science. Y.W. Loke explores the fascinating nature of the placenta and what it can tell us about evolution, development, and genetics. Professor Y. W. Loke, Fellow of King's College Cambridge, is a highly respected expert in the placenta and its implantation and development. He has published widely in academic journals. 1 After the Afterbirth; 2 In the Beginning; 3 The Principal Players; 4 Parental Tug-o-War; 5 Connecting with Mother; 6 Nature's Transplant; 7 Products; 8 Gateway; 9 Journey's End; Glossary; Endnotes; Index
