An improved mechanistic understanding of the adaptational processes mounted during
mammalian reproduction is emerging. Intricate pathways occurring at the fetomaternal …

During pregnancy, the maternal immune system is challenged by the semiallogeneic fetus,
which must be tolerated without compromising fetal or maternal health. This review updates …

The use of the mouse as a model organism is common in translational research. This mouse–
human similarity holds true for placental development as well. Proper formation of the …

Pigs have a unique, non‐invasive epitheliochorial placenta where maternal and fetal layers
lay in apposition. Indentation of fetal capillaries into the trophoblasts and maternal …

Background Synchronous development of the endometrium (to achieve a receptive state)
and of the embryo is essential for successful implantation and ongoing pregnancy …

The advantage in response of Th2 over Th1 is observed in normal pregnancy in peripheral
blood. A disturbance of this balance can lead to symptoms of miscarriage and pregnancy …

Characterization of the implanting human fetus as an allograft prompted a field of research
in reproductive immunology that continues to fascinate and perplex scientists. Paternal-or …

Spontaneous fetal loss is one of the most important challenges that commercial pig industry
is still facing in North America. Research over the decade provided significant insights into …

Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a relatively common pathology of which almost 50% of cases
remain idiopathic. In the search for novel biomarkers, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) …

Problem Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHIV) is a rare type of placental pathology that is
associated with reproductive loss at all gestational ages. The aim of the study was to …
