Different versions of a gene called ACE2 affect how well the placenta grows during pregnancy, a laboratory study finds.

The team then tested how the enzyme ACE2 affects the development of the placenta, using gene-editing to create placental organoids with different versions of the ACE2 gene. "We wanted to specifically ...
