Normal human placentation depends on a process that is very similar to tumor invasion. Specialized placental cells, termed trophoblasts, breach the uterine epithelium, after which they invade the uterine wall and the associated portions of maternal blood vessels. This important process anchors the embryo-fetus to the uterus.
