Summary

This study looked at cells from the chorionic membranes (the 'water bag' around the baby) to find molecules that might signal when labor starts early. Researchers collected samples from 24 healthy pregnant women after 37 weeks. The goal was to identify proteins that could help predict preterm labor in the future.
