Similarly, VEGF‐A and bFGF immunostaining was significantly higher in cytotrophoblasts, syncytiotrophoblasts, extravillous trophoblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, chorionic villous stromal cells, and villous vascular endothelial cells of human IUGR placentas compared with those collected from normal term pregnancies (Barut et al. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and fetal growth restriction.
