Modeling hormonal and inflammatory contributions to preterm and term labor using uterine temporal transcriptomics
10 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is now recognized as the primary cause of infant mortality worldwide. Interplay between hormonal and inflammatory signaling in the uterus modulates the onset of contractions; however, the relative contribution of each remains unclear. In this study we aimed to characterize temporal transcriptome changes in the uterus preceding term labor and preterm labor (PTL) induced by progesterone...
