The human placenta project: Funded studies, imaging technologies, and future directions
The placenta plays a critical role in fetal development. It serves as a multi-functional organ
that protects and nurtures the fetus during pregnancy. However, despite its importance, the …

Multi-scale modelling of shear stress on the Syncytiotrophoblast: could maternal blood flow impact placental function across gestation?
The placenta is a critical fetal exchange organ, with a complex branching tree-like structure.
Its surface is covered by a single multinucleated cell, the syncytiotrophoblast, which bathes …

Computational modeling of the interactions between the maternal and fetal circulations in human pregnancy
In pregnancy, fetal growth is supported by its placenta. In turn, the placenta is nourished by
maternal blood, delivered from the uterus, in which the vasculature is dramatically …
