N1 - We report on development of a rapid, quantitative analysis technique of collagen fibers in cross-linked structures to assess remodeling of the cervix during the transition from soft to ripening in preparation for birth. Optical density analysis of picrosirius red stain tissue using circular polarized birefringence light from fixed paraffin-embedded or frozen cervix from pregnant mice during phases of remodeling prior to birth.
