Effect of Aging on the Human Myometrium at Single-Cell Resolution
2023-07-03
Abstract excerpt
The myometrial dysfunction associated with aging can prompt complications during pregnancy and labor, causing a 7.8-fold increase in maternal mortality in women over 40. Using single-cell/single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we constructed a cellular atlas of the aging myometrium from 186,120 cells across twenty peri- and post-menopausal women. We identified 23 myometrial cell subpopulations,...
