Being born premature may increase risk of below average IQ, poor performance at school and behavioural difficulties in the child, and increased obesity and blood pressure as an adult, predisposing to life long socio-economic disadvantage. We have come up with a new approach to understanding the control of uterine contraction, namely, that cells other than muscle cells, recently identified in the uterine wall, are essential for inducing forceful and orderly muscle cell contraction during labour.

早产可能会增加孩子智商低于平均水平、在学校表现不佳和行为困难的风险，以及成年后肥胖和血压增加的风险，从而导致终身的社会经济劣势。我们提出了一种新的方法来理解子宫收缩的控制，即最近在子宫壁中发现的除肌肉细胞之外的细胞对于在分娩过程中诱导有力且有序的肌肉细胞收缩至关重要。
