Developmental Impact of Maternal Immune Activation on the Fetal Immune System and Lung
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.Maternal immune activation triggers elevated cytokines (IL‐6 and IL‐17A), disrupting fetal immune system development. This not only alters hematopoietic stem cell balance but also leads to ILC2 hyperactivation in the lung, which could potentially affect susceptibility to allergic diseases in the offspring.
