Intrauterine exposure to amniotic fluid (AF) cytokines is thought to predispose to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We evaluated the effects of GBS exposure on RNA expression in fetal lung tissue to determine early molecular pathways associated with fetal lung injury that may progress to BPD. Ten ...

Early events leading to intrauterine infection remain poorly defined, but may hold the key to a therapeutic intervention for preterm delivery. To determine early molecular pathways associated with membrane weakening that may progress to preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), we examined th...

Uterine stretch is thought to induce preterm labor in women with twin and higher order pregnancies, but the pathophysiology remains unclear. We investigated the pathogenesis of stretch-induced preterm birth for the first time in a pregnant nonhuman primate model. Eleven chronically catheterized preg...

Mechanisms underlying in utero fetal lung injury remain poorly defined, and a greater understanding of pathways regulating these processes may lead to novel therapies that prevent lung injury before birth. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding, endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression and hav...
