Romina Plitman's three-dimensional modeling of human placental terminal villi

Romina Plitman, along with other members of the CTR has recently published a paper on Three-dimensional modeling of human placental terminal villi.  Placental transport is the main factor affecting the health and development of the fetus. Due to the placenta's geometrical and mathematical complexity, the structure-function relations of placental terminal villi have not been successfully modelled before. Hence, a novel modelling approach is now proposed.
