During pregnancy, a delicate balance of innate and adaptive immune responses at the
maternal–fetal interface promotes survival of the semi‐allogeneic embryo and, at the same …

During human pregnancy the semi-allogeneic/allogeneic fetal graft is normally accepted by
the mother's immune system. Initially the contact between maternal and fetal cells is …

Decidual macrophages (dMΦ) are distinct from the conventional macrophages present in
other tissues and express M2 macrophage markers, but the molecular mechanisms of …

Introduction Macrophages participate in the regulation immune and morphogenetic events
in the placenta. However, these roles remain unclear for placental macrophages (Hofbauer …

Granulysin (GNLY) is a cytolytic/apoptotic molecule highly expressed in immune cells,
particularly NK cells, at the maternal–fetal interface. The primary function of GNLY is to carry …
