AB Preterm  birth  is  a  substantial  global  health  issue  with  significant  consequences  to  the  newborn,  family,  and  society.  Preterm  delivery  affects  nearly  15  million  births  worldwide,  is  the  leading  cause  of  death  in  children  younger  than  5  years,  and  remains  a  prominent  issue  in  obstetrics  (Chawanpaiboon,  2019).  Although  the  burden  of  preterm  birth  is  clear,  defining  the  biology  of  human  parturition  and  identifying  strategies  to  reduce  preterm  birth  rates  remain  elusive.
