Research project funded to study stretch-activated channels and nitric oxide pathways in the human myometrium to develop new therapies to prevent preterm birth.
Description
This project aims to explore novel signaling pathways in human myometrium to develop effective tocolytic strategies for preventing preterm birth. The research involves basic and translational studies using tissues from pregnant women and mouse models to understand mechanisms of drug action and identify new therapeutic targets.
