An update on pacemaking in the myometrium

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The spread of multiple electrical signals (panel A, blue‐to‐red indicates increasing electrical excitability) that are spatiotemporally distinct, yet in‐phase with the excitatory episode, determines action potential shape and form (panel B, as recorded by single cell microelectrodes) and ensures contractile amplitude and duration

Impaired angiogenesis in gestational diabetes is linked to succinate/SUCNR1 axis dysregulation in late gestation

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) impacts on succinate metabolism and angiogenesis in the umbilical cord endothelium. (Left Panel) Succinate levels increase in both maternal and fetal circulation at delivery, with higher concentrations observed in GDM pregnancies compared to controls during late gestation.

Time‐of‐Day Impacts Uterine Circadian Rhythms and Response to Oxytocin: Comparison of Uterine Function in Melatonin‐Deficient C57BL/6 Versus Melatonin Proficient CBA/B6 Hybrid Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Reaching term gestation requires a complex interplay between the uterus and hormonal signals regulating its contractile profile. Most pregnancy‐associated hormones vary in their overall level of release throughout pregnancy, but also have a circadian release pattern, including progesterone, oxytocin, and melatonin. It remains poorly understood

Nitrofurantoin inhibits contractions of myometrium isolated from pregnant and nonpregnant rats

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2018
We aimed to investigate the effects of nitrofurantoin, a commonly used antibiotic for urinary tract infections, on spontaneous contractions of rat myometrium isolated from 16-day pregnant and nonpregnant rats.

Ebola Virus Localization in the Macaque Reproductive Tract during Acute Ebola Virus Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sexual transmission of Ebola virus (EBOV) has been demonstrated more than a year after recovery from the acute phase of Ebola virus disease (EVD). The mechanisms underlying EBOV persistence and sexual transmission are not currently understood.

Immunolocalization and expression of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in human myometrium

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2012
Small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium (SK3) channels have been detected in human myometrium and we have previously shown a functional role of SK channels in human myometrium in vitro.

Outpatient cervical ripening with Foley balloon or mifepristone: Insights into the time taken to reach the active phase of labor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 2, Page 1009-1014, February 2026.
Abstract Objective To estimate the median time elapsed between the start of cervical ripening and the diagnosis of the active phase of labor, according to maternal and pregnancy characteristics, in low‐risk pregnancies submitted to outpatient cervical ripening with a Foley balloon catheter or oral mifepristone.

Mechanical Cues Regulate Estrogen and Progesterone‐Induced Nascent ECM Deposition by Human Endometrial Stromal Fibroblasts

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The endometrium, the mucosal lining of the uterus, is a highly regenerative tissue that undergoes cyclic remodeling guided by tightly regulated levels of estrogen and progesterone. Stromal cells, including fibroblasts, are embedded within the connective tissue of the endometrium and contribute to the rapidly changing extracellular matrix (ECM).
