Derived from the 13th Rochester Trophoblast Conference/Thomas G. Wegmann Memorial Symposium on Reproductive Immunology held in September 1996 in Banff, Alberta, Canada, the peer-reviewed articles of 91 international contributors advance the state of placental research. Papers on recent mammalian research with implications for normal and problem human pregnancies appear under the major headings of genetic regulation of trophoblast development, regulation of placental function, and autacoids and placental blood flow. In the concluding section, Anthony Carter (U. of Odense, Denmark) reviews the debate he chaired on: "What autacoids, if any, are active at physiologic concentrations in the regulation of blood flow?"

Edited papers presented at the 13th Rochester Trophoblast Conference on the Placenta.
This work, the 11th Volume of Trophoblast Research series, comprises collected papers presented to the 13th Rochester Trophoblast Conference (Summer 1996), held for the first time at Banff, Alberta, Canada. This edited volume hopes to recreate the main scientific themes discussed at this meeting for the reader. Established in 1961, the Rochester Trophoblast Conference is the oldest international conference on the placenta, and it became a formal corporate member of the International Federation of Placental Associations at the Banff conference.
