Description:
1\. Collect blood, urine and cervicovaginal cells from women with preterm labor and term labor in order to investigate:
1. What is the role of bioenergetics in pregnancy and what are the pertubations in cell metabolism that lead to spontaneous preterm birth
2. What are the interactions between the microbiome (oral, gut, cervicovaginal, and placental) and host metabolic function in pregnancy
3. How do interactions between cell metabolism and the microbiome influence cervical remodeling and placental function leading to spontaneous preterm delivery
4. What genetic and environmental factors influence the metabolic function of reproductive tissues leading to spontaneous preterm delivery
