Histological analysis of WT and Stab1/2 dKO placentas. (A) H&E staining showing the overall shape and structure of placentas from WT and Stab1/2 dKO mice. Three layers of the placenta are indicated by colored lines, with red indicating the labyrinth zone, yellow indicating the junctional zone, and blue indicating the decidua. Quantitative analysis of the length of each placental zone. The percentages indicated for decidua, junctional zone, and labyrinth zone were quantified over the total length (100%) of the placenta. Scale bar, 500 µm. (B) High-magnification images of the blue rectangles in (A). (B1, B2) High-magnification images of the junctional zone in (B). Scale bar, 100 µm.
