During pregnancy, the maternal uterus and fetus form a special microenvironment at the
maternal-fetal interface to support fetal development. Extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) …

Although the pathogenesis of endometriosis is not fully understood, it is often considered to
be an inflammatory disease. An increasing number of studies suggest that differential …

The intestinal microbiota has become a relevant aspect of human health. Microbial
colonization runs in parallel with immune system maturation and plays a role in intestinal …

Originally shown to promote the growth and activation of B cells, thymic stromal
lymphopoietin (TSLP) is now known to have wide-ranging impacts on both hematopoietic …

Antigen‐presenting molecules vary between individuals of the same species, making it more
difficult for pathogens to evade immune recognition and spread through the whole …

The success of pregnancy relies on the fine adjustment of the maternal immune system to

BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis is characterized by scratching and by TH2-dominated
immune response to cutaneously introduced antigens. Antigen application to skin …

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an IL-7-like cytokine initially identified in the culture
supernatant of a thymic stromal cell line. Highly expressed in the epidermis in skin lesions of …

Immune cells adapt their phenotypic and functional characteristics in response to the tissue
microenvironment within which they traffic and reside. The fetomaternal interface, consisting …

The gut microbiota are critical in the homoeostasis of multiple interconnected host metabolic
and immune networks. If early microbial colonization is delayed, the gut‐associated …
