摘要: The problem of preterm birth continues to pose one the most significant research challenges that we face due its immense scope and complexity. With evidence 95% cases spontaneous are intractable current interventions, our best hope in resolving this may lie new, innovative ideas. Novel approaches researching currently underway, building upon prior discoveries probing into unknown on multiple fronts. Here discuss some major focuses future investigation provide a promising outlook for discovery, including advanced techniques evaluate cervix, new strategies identify role microbiome, advances molecular epigenetic-based research.
