Vascular corrosion casting was used for detailed three-dimensional (3D) morphological
examination of the normal placental microcirculation. This paper is focused on blood flow …

The placenta handles the exchange of oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the fetus.
Normal placentation and placental development are critical for a successful pregnancy. In …

Purpose: Visualization of the three-dimensional structures is performed by examining two-
dimensional sections in histology. It is not always possible to comprehend structure-function …

Aim: To construct and examine models of the vascular networks using the technique of
vascular corrosion casting in placentas collected from normal pregnancies and from …

Experimental methods that allow examination of the intact vascular network of large organs,
such as the human placenta are limited, preventing adequate comparison of normal and …

A study of placental vasculature pattern was undertaken by using corrosion cast technique.
The placenta is a highly vascularised organ. In this study we aimed to elucidate the structure …

In this study, three-dimensional (3D) blood flow of the feto-placental vasculature system of
the mouse placenta was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods …

Fetal development depends on adequate exchange of materials between the fetus and
maternal circulatory systems, which requires optimal distribution of blood vessels over the …

The current understanding of the placental vascular tree largely derives from time-
consuming morphometric analyses performed by conventional histology, electron …

The latex injection-corrosion cast technique coupled with scanning electron microscopy was
applied to the study of small for gestational age placentas. The main ultrastructural changes …
