Abstract
Collagen cross-links (PYD, DPD, DHLNL, and PEN) are detectable by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS in the human cervix. The internal os exhibits significant collagen cross-link heterogeneity compared with the external os. Further studies are needed to evaluate how collagen cross-link heterogeneity correlates to the mechanical strength and function of the human cervix.
