Placental infection single-cell and single-nuclei maps
This resource comprises a single-cell multi-lineage map of first trimester infected placental cells. We have included data from both uninfected cells and cells infected with three pathogens known to cause maternal and fetal disorders: Plasmodium falciparum, Listeria monocytogenes, and Toxoplasma gondii. We also generated single-nuclei map of infected trophoblasts and their corresponding controls. Furthermore, we created a single-nuclei reference dataset containing information from uninfected primary placental organoids as well as organoids infected with P. falciparum. Additionally, we conducted sequencing at a single-cell level for P. falciparum parasites that were bound to the placenta (pf_b), parasites unbound to the placenta (pf_nb), and parasites that were cultured in vitro (pf_iv).
