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.

A case of successful pregnancy in a septate uterus after discharge of decidual tissue in the second trimester

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
In pregnant patients with a divided uterine cavity, the decidual tissue on the nonpregnant side may be discharged prior to the delivery of the fetus. The pregnancy can continue if the uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding are controlled and the fetus

The Maternal–Fetal Interface in Small-for-Gestational-Age Pregnancies Is Associated With a Reduced Quantity of Human Decidual NK Cells With Weaker Functional Ability

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Small for gestational age (SGA) refers to a birth weight that is less than the 10th percentile of the mean weight of infants at the same gestational age.

Distinctive phenotypes and functions of innate lymphoid cells in human decidua during early pregnancy

Nature Communications, 2020
During early pregnancy, decidual innate lymphoid cells (dILCs) interact with surrounding maternal cells and invading fetal extravillous trophoblasts (EVT).

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.

Characterization of human decidual mast cells and establishment of a culture system

Allergology International, 2018
Background: Although rodent decidual mast cells (MCs) reportedly play an important role in implantation and placenta formation, the characterization of human decidual MCs has been not well clarified.

Progesterone decreased indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1(IDO1) expression in early pregnancy chorionic villi and decidua

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.

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−.
