EMMIs: Engineered Myometrial Microtissues for Direct Quantification of Oxytocin-Induced Contractility

2026-04-30

Abstract excerpt

Forceful and coordinated contractions of the uterine myometrium are essential for successful labor, delivery, and postpartum uterine involution. Failure of the uterus to generate or sustain contractile force (uterine atony) after delivery results in postpartum hemorrhage, a leading cause of maternal mortality globally. Paradoxically, uterine atony is exacerbated by prolonged oxytocin exposure used to induce or aug...
