Pregnancies in women of advanced maternal age (AMA) are susceptible to fetal growth
restriction (FGR) and stillbirth. We hypothesised that maternal ageing is associated with …

The placenta is a multifunctional organ that exchanges blood gases and nutrients between a
mother and her developing fetus. In humans, fetal blood flows through intricate networks of …

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 …

The placenta provides all the nutrients required for the fetus through pregnancy. It develops
dynamically, and, to avoid rejection of the fetus, there is no mixing of fetal and maternal …

Many biological processes are controlled by both deterministic and stochastic influences.
However, efforts to model these systems often rely on either purely stochastic or purely rule …

The placenta plays a critical role in regulating fetal growth. Recent studies suggest that there
may be sex-specific differences in placental development. The purpose of our study was to …

Modeling the physiology of the human placenta is still a challenge, despite the great number
of scientific advancements made in the field. Animal models cannot fully replicate the …

Placental amino acid transfer is essential for fetal development and its impairment is
associated with poor fetal growth. Amino acid transfer is mediated by a broad array of …

When modeling of tumor-driven angiogenesis, a major source of analytical and
computational complexity is the strong coupling between the kinetic parameters of the …

Background The impacts of prenatal maternal affective symptoms on the placental structure
are not well-established. Employing Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial …
