The paper evaluates stereological methods for estimating placental diffusive exchange capacity using virtual histology and computational modeling, finding systematic overestimation of diffusive length scale by 15-25%.

This study uses computational models to show that placental structure significantly affects maternal blood flow and fetal oxygen uptake, with the vein-to-artery ratio being a key determinant of placental efficiency.

This study examines how umbilical cord structure affects heat transfer in mammals, finding that cord morphology influences fetal thermal resilience.
