Ectopic Decidua

Acta clinica Croatica, 2007
Ectopic decidua is described as a physiological phenomen of a pregnancy, which is a result of subserous stromal cell metaplasia due to progesteron activity.

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−.

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.

Visualizing Dynamic Changes at the Maternal-Fetal Interface Throughout Human Pregnancy by Mass Cytometry

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
During healthy pregnancy, a balanced microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface with coordinated interaction between various immune cells is necessary to maintain immunological tolerance.

Endometrial stromal cell miR-19b-3p release is reduced during decidualization implying a role in decidual-trophoblast cross-talk

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionA healthy pregnancy requires successful blastocyst implantation into an adequately prepared or ‘receptive’ endometrium. Decidualization of uterine endometrial stromal fibroblast cells (hESF) is critical for the establishment of a healthy ...

Failure of Decidualization and Maternal Immune Tolerance Underlies Uterovascular Resistance in Intra Uterine Growth Restriction

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Failure of uterine vascular transformation is associated with pregnancy complications including Intra Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR). The decidua and its immune cell populations play a key role in the earliest stages of this process.

Thyroid hormones affect decidualization and angiogenesis in the decidua and metrial gland of rats

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira
: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of thyroid hormone on the decidua and metrial gland of rats and to examine the expression of angiogenic factors. 72 adult, female rats were divided into hypothyroid, T4-treated2, and control groups.

Immune Deviation in the Decidua During Term and Preterm Labor

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The maternal-fetal immune disorder is considered to be an important factor of preterm birth (PTB); however, the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood.

Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors Are Dysregulated at the BPH/5 Mouse Preeclamptic-Like Maternal–Fetal Interface

Biology
The etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia, a leading hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, has been proposed to involve an abnormal circulating sex hormone profile and misexpression of placental estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR, respectively ...

Total cervical occlusion: A solution after cervico‐isthmic cerclage failure

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Spontaneous preterm birth is mainly caused by cervical incompetence. Cervical cerclage is the gold standard for preventing mid‐trimester losses and preterm deliveries. If cervical cerclage fails, cervico‐isthmic cerclage may be indicated.
