Fractal analysis of the structural complexity of the connective tissue in human carotid bodies

Fractal analysis of the structural complexity of the connective tissue in human carotid bodies

The carotid body may undergo different structural changes during perinatal development, aging, or in response to environmental stimuli. In the previous literature, morphometric approaches to evaluate these changes have considered quantitative first order parameters, such as volumes or densities, whi...
