Birth mode is associated with layer-specific mechanical changes in fetal membranes

Abstract Rupture of fetal membranes and subsequent full-term birth are prerequisites for neonatal health, and a preterm rupture can lead to life-threatening complications. Our study determines the mechanical properties of term fetal membranes to identify perinatal structural changes by a unique biop...
