Collagen concentration and biomechanical properties of samples from the lower uterine cervix in relation to age and parity in non-pregnant women
BACKGROUND: During normal pregnancy the cervix has a load bearing function. The cervical tissue consists mainly of an extracellular matrix (ECM) rich in collagen; important for the biomechanical properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate how the biomechanical strength of samples from t...
