Gene expression analysis of the microdissected trophoblast layer of human placenta after the spontaneous onset of labor.

BACKGROUND:Despite increasing evidence that human parturition is associated with alteration in gene expression in the uteroplacental unit, the precise mechanisms that elicit spontaneous term labor in humans remain unknown. Our goal in this study was to compare the mRNA expression pattern of the trop...
