8 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Preterm birth is a major determinant of neonatal mortality and morbidity, affecting approximately one-third of preterm births as a result of prelabor rupturing of membranes. Infection and inflammation have strong causal links to preterm delivery, resulting in the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NFKB) and its downstream targets.
