Abstract
This review describes the different routes that CTB follow during their differentiation pathways, the regulation of these at the molecular level, it gives also an overview of the pathologies associated with faulty pathways and describes the usual phenotypic markers used to identify the different CTB subsets. This review is intended to stimulate investigators not acquainted with the field of placental biology to use CTB as a model to study important biological functions in vitro, such as cell fusion, cell invasion and cell transformation.
