Vascular Biology of the Placenta: Second Edition (Colloquium Series on Integrated Systems Physiology: from Molecule to Function to Disease)
暫譯: 胎盤的血管生物學：第二版（綜合系統生理學研討會系列：從分子到功能再到疾病）

The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall, thereby allowing nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply. Proper vascular development in the placenta is fundamental to ensuring a healthy fetus and successful pregnancy. This book provides an up-to-date summary and synthesis of knowledge regarding placental vascular biology and discusses the relevance of this vascular bed to the functions of the human placenta.
