Abstract：
INTRODUCTION:The placenta is a transient organ the functioning of which has health consequences far beyond the embryo/fetus. Understanding the biology of any system (organ, organism, single cell, etc) requires a comprehensive and inclusive approach which embraces all the biomedical disciplines and 'omic' technologies and then integrates information obtained from all of them. Among the latest 'omics' is morphomics. The terms morphome and morphomics have been applied incoherently in biology and biomedicine but, recently, they have been given clear and widescale definitions. METHODS:Morphomics is placed in the context of other 'omics' and its pertinent technologies and tools for sampling and quantitation are reviewed. Emphasis is accorded to the importance of random sampling principles in systems biology and the value of combining 3D quantification with alternative imaging techniques to advance knowledge and understanding of the human placental morphome. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:By analogy to other 'omes', the morphome is the totality of morphological features within a system and morphomics is the systematic study of those structures. Information about structure is required at multiple levels of resolution in order to understand better the processes by which a given system alters with time, experimental treatment or environmental insult. Therefore, morphomics research includes all imaging techniques at all levels of achievable resolution from gross anatomy and medical imaging, via optical and electron microscopy, to molecular characterisation. Quantification is an important element of all 'omics' studies and, because biological systems exist and operate in 3-dimensional (3D) space, precise descriptions of form, content and spatial relationships require the quantification of structure in 3D. These considerations are relevant to future study contributions to the Human Placenta Project.
