Evidence of biomechanical and collagen heterogeneity in uterine fibroids

OBJECTIVE: Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign tumors of the myometrium but their molecular pathobiology remains elusive. These stiff and often large tumors contain abundant extracellular matrix (ECM), including large amounts of collagen, and can lead to significant morbidities. After ob...
