T-bet Fate Mapping Reveals Gestational Stage-Specific Transcriptional Adaptation of Decidual NK Cells. [PDF]
Am J Reprod ImmunolABSTRACT Problem Natural killer (NK) cells are critical regulators of immune balance at the maternal–fetal interface. T‐bet (Tbx21) is a key transcription factor shaping NK cell effector functions, yet its role in decidual NK (dNK) cell adaptation across gestation remains unclear.

Treg cells retain stable lineage commitment during pregnancy in mice after late gestation inflammatory challenge. [PDF]
Immunol Cell BiolIn this study, we used Foxp3‐fatemapping mice to examine the cell lineage stability of Treg cells in pregnancy. Ex‐Foxp3 cells were identified in gestational tissues. However, Treg cells retained lineage stability with no increased ex‐Foxp3 generation, regardless of inflammatory challenges that induce preterm birth.

Autoimmunity, 2021 Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase1(IDO1) is one of the most important proteins in protect the embryos from the mother's immune system during pregnancy. However, the regulation of the protein expression at the maternal–foetal interface is not fully known.

Ectopic decidua of the greater omentum: a case report
Journal of Health Sciences, 2016 Ectopic decidua is defined as extrauterine deposits of decidual stromal cells. It occurs in 85-100% of pregnancies. Focal sites can be present in various locations, yet a peritoneal location is rare.

CCL2: An important cytokine in normal and pathological pregnancies: A review
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), also known as monocytic chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), is an integral chemotactic factor which recruits macrophages for the immune response.

Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Maternal and Fetal Compartments
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Pregnancy success is orchestrated by the complex balance between the maternal and fetal immune systems. Herein, we summarize the potential role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the maternal and fetal compartments.

MAIT Cells at the Fetal-Maternal Interface During Pregnancy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 One of the main functions of the human placenta is to provide a barrier between the fetal and maternal blood circulations, where gas exchange and transfer of nutrients to the developing fetus take place.

Periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Present and future
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract For more than two decades the possible association between periodontal diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes has been extensively evaluated. Numerous observational, intervention, and mechanistic studies have offered valuable information on this topic.

Uterine Natural Killer Cells and Implantation
Fertility & Reproduction, 2021 Decidual leukocytes make up approximately 30% of all decidual stromal cells in early pregnancy, of which 70% are uterine natural killer (uNK) cells. uNK cells are phenotypically distinct from peripheral blood NK cells, being CD56brightCD16−.
