Frequency and function of lymphocytes in labouring compared to non-labouring decidua [PDF]
The uterine mucosa, known as the decidua during pregnancy, contains a unique immune microenvironment. Decidual immune activation has been hypothesised to initiate labour, the end of pregnancy when the muscles contract to excel the baby.

ABSTRACT 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.

Evolutionary analysis of the genomic region of FOXP3 in vertebrates [PDF]
The Human FOXP3 gene plays a role in immunosuppression, which includes the suppression of the maternal immune system to allow the growth of a semi-foreign fetus inside her uterus.

The regulation and function of acetylated high-mobility group box 1 during implantation and decidualization [PDF]
IntroductionHigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone nuclear protein and can be extracellularly secreted to induce sterile inflammation. Although uterine deletion of HMGB1 causes implantation and decidualization defects, how secreted HMGB1 is ...

Epigenetics of maternal-fetal interface immune microenvironment and placental related pregnancy complications. [PDF]
Epigenetic regulation of placental development and pregnancy-related disease processes has recently been a hot research topic. Implantation and subsequent placental development depend on carefully orchestrated interactions between fetal and maternal ...

Toll‐like receptors in mammalian sperm
Abstract Background Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are critical components of the innate immune system and are expressed in various cells, including the reproductive system. Although their roles in female reproductive tissues such as the ovaries and uterus, including their involvement in fertilization and implantation, have been extensively reviewed, their

Comparing Serum Levels of Th17 and Treg Cytokines in Women with Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion and Fertile Women [PDF]
Background: Increased evidences have shown that unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is associated with inflammatory responses and breakage of immunological autotolerance.

Re‐evaluation of saccharin and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts (E 954) as food additives
Abstract This opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of saccharin and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts (E 954) as food additives. Saccharin is the chemically manufactured compound 1,2‐benzisothiazol‐3(2H)‐one‐1,1‐dioxide. Along with its sodium (Na), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) salts, they are authorised as sweeteners (E 954).

Abstract The present opinion is the follow‐up of the conclusions and recommendations of the Scientific Opinion on the re‐evaluation of silicon dioxide (E 551) as a food additive relevant to the safety assessment for all age groups. In addition, the risk assessment of silicon dioxide (E 551) for its use in food for infants below 16 weeks of age is ...
