The placenta develops over pregnancy to provide oxygen to the fetus, with this oxygen provided by maternal blood via the blood vessels in the uterus. Computational models, with varying complexity, have been derived to understand how the uterus and placenta interact to ensure a healthy pregnancy, and here we review these computational approaches with a view to translating new physiological insights into the clinic.

Chronic viral infections, a diet rich in fat and alcohol abuse are responsible of chronic liver disease which progresses from fibrosis, to cirrhosis and eventually may cause hepatocellular carcinoma. Understanding the mechanism of liver fibrosis and its clinical implications is vital to develop new antifibrotic therapies.

The skin microbiome is strongly coupled with the skin resident immune and neuroendocrine systems, which in turn are coupled with their systemic counterparts. These systems together modulate the skin physiology. Pointed arrows indicate activation, blunt‐end arrows indicate inhibition.
