These results suggest that dynamically increased expression of decorin in the choriodecidual membrane during parturition may be a part of the uterine preparation for labor.
Proteolysis by proteasomes in the uterus regulates the initiation of labor, at least in part, via control of contraction-associated molecules such as FP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
