The role of the maternal immune system in reproductive success in humans remains
controversial. Here we focus on the events that occur in the maternal decidua during the first …

The Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors (NCRs), NKp46, NKp44, and NKp30, were some of the
first human activating Natural Killer (NK) cell receptors involved in the non-MHC-restricted …

Natural killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are heterogenous innate
lymphocytes broadly defined in mice as Lin− NK1. 1+ NKp46+ cells that express the …

Natural killer (NK) cells are members of a rapidly expanding family of innate lymphoid cells
(ILCs). While most previously studied NK cells were derived from the mouse spleen and …

Tissues are the new frontier of discoveries in immunology. Cells of the immune system are
an integral part of tissue physiology and immunity. Determining how immune cells inhabit …

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are the most abundant immune cells in the uterine mucosa both
before and during pregnancy. Circumstantial evidence suggests they play important roles in …

During early pregnancy, decidual innate lymphoid cells (dILCs) interact with surrounding
maternal cells and invading fetal extravillous trophoblasts (EVT). Here, using mass …

Efficient immune responses against invading pathogens often involve coordination between
cells from both the innate and adaptive immune systems. For multiple decades, it has been …

Acute chorioamnionitis is characterized by neutrophilic infiltration and inflammation at the
maternal fetal interface. It is a relatively common complication of pregnancy and can have …

The presence of granulated lymphocytes in the human uterine mucosa, known as decidua
during pregnancy, or endometrium otherwise, was first noted in the nineteenth century, but it …
