First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study aimed to find specific molecules made by cells from the chorionic membranes (the 'water bag' around the baby) that might signal when preterm labor starts. Researchers collected samples from 24 healthy pregnant women after full-term delivery to measure proteins released by these cells. The goal was to better understand the biological signs of early labor, not to test a treatment.
