Funded Activity Summary

Successful labour outcome is critical for the health of mother and offspring. Contractions too soon, or when they fail during labour, have significant short and long term consequences for mother and baby. Our recent studies on tissue from women in labour suggested new possible mechanisms underlying the initiation of uterine contractions. We will now test these ideas with a view to identifying new therapeutic targets for manipulating labour contractions.
