title: [Placental transfer of drugs].
abstract: As the sole interface between the mother and fetus, the placenta is essential for normal fetal development, ensuring the transfer of nutrients and metabolic waste products. The authors examine the barrier function of the placenta, together with the diferent mechanisms of drug transport and the experimental models used to investigate them.
