KV7 channel activation inhibits human and murine myometrium contractility and delays delivery in a mouse model of preterm birth

2025-10-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Despite spontaneous preterm birth (PTB, delivery < 37 weeks’ gestation) being a major contributor to perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, there is a paucity of treatments for treating preterm labor. We hypothesized that uterine smooth muscle (myometrium) Kv7 channels could be a therapeutic target for preventing preterm labor. Building on our previous work, we confirmed that K...
