[00:00:00]This research is part of a larger effort to map pregnancy at the single cell level, capturing how tissues change from week five all the way to birth. And what's emerging is more complex picture than ever before. Pregnancy is not just a passive process. It's a highly coordinated cell-by-cell biological orchestration.

[00:00:22]And now, for the first time, we found a cell type that doesn't even appear outside of pregnancy.

[00:00:28]Researchers are just beginning to understand what role it plays. And as they put it, it's just the beginning.
