Characteristic Changes in Decidual Gene Expression Signature in Spontaneous Term Parturition
22 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The decidua has been implicated in the "terminal pathway" of human term parturition, which is characterized by the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways in gestational tissues. However, the transcriptomic changes in the decidua leading to terminal pathway activation have not been systematically explored. This study aimed to compare the decidual expression of developmental signaling and...
