The Metabolomic Signature of the Placenta in Spontaneous Preterm Birth

The Metabolomic Signature of the Placenta in Spontaneous Preterm Birth

The placenta is metabolically active and supports the growth of the fetus. We hypothesize that deficits in the capacity of the placenta to maintain bioenergetic and metabolic stability during pregnancy may result in spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB). To explore this hypothesis, we performed a nested...
