Elastin homeostasis is altered with pelvic organ prolapse in cultures of vaginal cells from a lysyl oxidase‐like 1 knockout mouse model

Abstract Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) decreases quality of life for many women, but its pathophysiology is poorly understood. We have previously shown that Lysyl oxidase‐like 1 knockout (Loxl1 KO) mice reliably prolapse with age and increased parity, similar to women. Both this model and clinical stu...
