One pivotal aspect of early pregnancy is decidualization. The decidualization process
includes two components: the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells to decidual stromal …

The placenta represents the maternal-fetal vascular interface. It is capable of supplying the
bioenergetic needs of the developing conceptus. It is composed of different cell types that …

Macrophages are highly diverse cells and represent the major antigen-presenting cell at the
maternal-fetal interface. Except for protecting the embryo with half of the paternal antigens …

Maternal tolerance to semi‐or fully allograft conceptus is a prerequisite for the maintenance
of pregnancy. Once this homeostasis is disrupted, it may result in pregnancy loss. As a …

Decidualization is a progesterone-dependent cellular differentiation process that is essential
for establishing pregnancy. Robust activation of glycolysis and lactate synthesis during …

Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although
increasing lines of evidence suggest that both the placenta and the decidua likely play roles …

During the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, elongated fibroblast-like mesenchymal
cells in the uterine endometrium begin to transdifferentiate into polygonal epithelioid-like …

Decidualization is necessary for the successful establishment of early pregnancy in rodents
and humans. Disturbed decidualization results in recurrent implantation failure, recurrent …
