Macrophage gene expression associated with remodeling of the prepartum rat cervix: microarray and pathway analyses.
As the critical gatekeeper for birth, prepartum remodeling of the cervix is associated with increased resident macrophages (Mφ), proinflammatory processes, and extracellular matrix degradation. This study tested the hypothesis that expression of genes unique to Mφs characterizes the prepartum from u...
