Description

Kyvernitakis and six co-authors published a 2026 PLOS ONE study on a device used in pregnancy. A cervical pessary is a soft ring placed to support the cervix in women at risk of early birth. The team tracked the stiffness of the cervix after placement and how it settled over time. Steady stiffness data could show whether the device is helping hold the pregnancy.
