Cervical collagen and biomechanical strength in non-pregnant women with a history of cervical insufficiency

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by a "muscular cervix" with low collagen and high smooth muscle concentrations also in the non-pregnant state. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical properties, collagen conc...
