Comparison of placenta samples with contamination controls does not provide evidence for a distinct placenta microbiota.

TL;DR: This sample set could not distinguish between placental samples and contamination introduced during DNA purification, and no placental bacterial lineages were shared between extraction methods, though oral and vaginal samples showed characteristic, distinctive composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Model for Inflammation-Induced Preterm Birth: The Role of Platelet-Activating Factor and Toll-Like Receptor-4

TL;DR: In this paper, a unique, reproducible mouse model of localized intrauterine inflammation was presented, which showed that platelet-activating factor is a crucial mediator of both inflammation-induced preterm birth and fetal demise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Animal models of preterm birth

Journal ArticleDOI
