PNA FISH: present and future impact on patient management.

abstract：:Several biomarkers associated with spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) have been discovered over the last decade. Many of these markers, such as cytokines, are associated with infection and inflammation. As such, these biomarkers represent biologically plausible candidates for assessing those at risk of PTB. However, in t...
