A Hofbauer cell expresses high levels of growth factors and metalloproteinases that support vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, branching morphogenesis and tissue remodeling. A Hofbauer cell has a fetal origin and is present throughout pregnancy. hofbauer cell Hofbauer cells are a heterogenic group of macrophages that resemble M2-like cells. Initially described in chorionic villi in humans, a Hofbauer cell is now often used to describe any fetal-derived placental macrophage that resides within the placental villous core, amnion, and chorion laeve.
