Onset of human preterm and term birth is related to unique inflammatory transcriptome profiles at the maternal fetal interface

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is a main determinant of neonatal mortality and morbidity and a major contributor to the overall mortality and burden of disease. However, research of the preterm birth is hindered by the imprecise definition of the clinical phenotype and complexity of the molecular phenotype due to multiple pregnancy tissue types and molecular processes that may contribute to the preterm birth. Here we...
