On the factors which contribute to thinning of the villous membrane in human placentae at high altitude. I. Thinning and regional variation in thickness of trophoblast.

abstract：:Placental function involves multiple different processes which operate at different scales from centimetres to nanometres. Everything that the placenta does from mediating blood flow to gene expression, occurs within a three-dimensional anatomical framework. This review outlines how multiscale three-dimensional imagin...
