- *Abstract
-
Pretermbirth is a significant public health problem worldwide. In the US alone,~500,000 premature infants are born annually, yet the underlying mechanisms areunclear. Currently, there is no intervention that effectively protects againstpreterm birth or predicts risk for preterm birth. Researchers at NationwideChildren’s Hospital discovered that Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is associated withuterine quiescence. This novel discoveryrepresents a promising new drug target for preventing or ceasing preterm laborin at-risk mothers.
