Rohr's fibrinoid, situated beneath the cytotrophoblast layer within the basal plate, is linked with anchoring villi and maternal blood flow regulation. Both layers are formed through complex interactions involving extravillous trophoblasts, maternal decidual cells, and molecular mediators such as matrix metalloproteinases, human leukocyte antigen\u2010G, and transforming growth factor\u2010beta. Aberrations in their development are implicated in conditions like preeclampsia and placenta accreta spectrum, where the absence of Nitabuch's layer correlates with morbid placental adherence. Their recognition can aid in distinguishing normal placental maturation from pathological states and holds potential value in forensic evaluations of retained placenta and unexplained postpartum hemorrhage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A better understanding of the structure and significance of Nitabuch's and Rohr's layers at the maternal\u2013fetal interface can enhance the interpretation of placental pathology, inform clinical management of obstetric complications, and assist in medico\u2010legal investigations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.70052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,22]],"date-time":"2025-08-22T02:39:34Z","timestamp":1755830374000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Nitabuch's and Rohr's fibrinoid layers: Revisiting the interface of the placenta and uterus"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0708-1037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mishu","family":"Mangla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp;
