Ex-vivo placental perfusion model
The ex-vivo placental perfusion model enables real-time study of nutrient transport, drug transfer, and placental function, offering valuable insights into maternal-fetal exchange and pregnancy health.
Placental explants
Placenta explants, small fragments of placental tissue maintained ex vivo, preserve the complex cellular architecture and physiological interactions of the in vivo placenta. By sustaining both maternal and fetal tissue compartments in culture, explants provide a dynamic and physiologically relevant model to study placental transport, endocrine function, immune signaling, and drug metabolism under near-natural conditions.
Placenta organoids
Trophoblast organoids, often dubbed ‘mini placenta’ or ‘placenta-in-a-dish’, are three-dimensional spheres that self-organize into placenta-like tissue, offering a novel and powerful tool for studying placenta development and function in a controlled laboratory setting.
Placental vessel studies
Placenta vessels in a Mulvany myograph allow researchers to study vascular reactivity, endothelial function, and smooth muscle behavior under controlled conditions, providing insights into pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia.​
