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.

Stimulation of hCG protein and mRNA in first trimester villous cytotrophoblast cells in vitro by glycodelin A [PDF]

, 2005
Aim: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by fetal trophoblast cells and secreted into maternal circulation mainly in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Increased angiogenic factor secretion by decidual natural killer cells from pregnancies with high uterine artery resistance alters trophoblast function. [PDF]

, 2014
STUDY QUESTION Are the concentrations of factors secreted by decidual natural killer (dNK) cells from pregnancies at high risk of poor spiral artery remodelling different to those secreted from pregnancies at low risk?

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−.

Innate Immunity and Microbial Recognition in Reproduction: From Barrier Defense to Maternal-Fetal Tolerance. [PDF]

FASEB J
Graphical abstract illustrating the barrier defense–tolerance framework of reproductive innate immunity. Across the female and male reproductive tracts and the maternal–fetal interface, epithelial barriers, innate sensors, immune cells, and microbial signals are integrated to preserve reproductive homeostasis.

Larix decidua Bark as a Source of Phytoconstituents: An LC-MS Study [PDF]

, 2017
Larix decidua bark is a waste of the timber industry and is widely diffused in Northern Italy. This material can be considered a good source of antioxidants and phytoconstituents with possible use in cosmetic or nutraceutical products.

The Dual Role of HLA-C in Tolerance and Immunity at the Maternal-Fetal Interface

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
To establish a healthy pregnancy, maternal immune cells must tolerate fetal allo-antigens and remain competent to respond to infections both systemically and in placental tissues.
