Why is preterm birth risk doubled with maternal UTI? It depends on the immune response. We found distinct immune signatures in a UTI-associated preterm birth mouse model. In a human cohort from Allyson Shea 🔬, urine cytokine levels could predict preterm birth. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share the preprint of some of my dissertation work! We explored the impact of maternal bladder inflammation on preterm birth in a novel mouse model, supported by a human cohort identifying urinary biomarkers of preterm birth.
