First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study looks at how stress and childhood trauma might increase the risk of preterm birth by affecting tiny energy-producing parts of cells called mitochondria. Researchers will follow 200 pregnant women, mostly Black and Hispanic, to understand these connections and why preterm birth rates are higher in some groups. The goal is to gather knowledge that could one day lead to better prevention strategies.
