Journal ArticleDOI
Progesterone Receptor-Mediated Actions Regulate Remodeling of the Cervix in Preparation for Preterm Parturition.
Michael A. Kirby,Anne C. Heuerman,Melisa Custer,Abigail Dobyns,Ryan Strilaeff,Kathleen N. Stutz,Jaclyn Cooperrider,Joseph G Elsissy,Steven M. Yellon +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that inflammatory processes in the prepartum cervix that include residency of macrophages, cellular hypertrophy, and extracellular collagen structure are regulated by genomic actions of PR in a final common mechanism both at term and with induced preterm birth is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of macrophage depletion on characteristics of cervix remodeling and pregnancy in CD11b-dtr mice
TL;DR: It is suggested that CD11b+ F4/80+ macrophages are important to sustain pregnancy and are required for processes that remodel the cervix in preparation for parturition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cervix Stromal Cells and the Progesterone Receptor A Isoform Mediate Effects of Progesterone for Prepartum Remodeling
TL;DR: Progesterone effects to sustain pregnancy, as well as soften and ripen the cervix, are mediated by a stable stromal cell population that expresses PR-A and, through interactions with resident macrophages, are likely to mediate inflammatory ripening processes in preparation for birth.
Utility of Optical Density of Picrosirius Red Birefringence for Analysis of Cross-Linked Collagen in Remodeling of the Peripartum Cervix for Parturition
TL;DR: Development of a rapid, quantitative analysis technique of collagen fibers in cross-linked structures to assess remodeling of the cervix during the transition from soft to ripening in preparation for birth and holds promise to evaluate other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Trier Social Stress Test, narrative recall, and some cognitive challenges require participants to speak in order to measure acute physiological responses to induced stress as mentioned in this paper, which is a task that requires participants to be prepared to answer questions.
