Although neutrophils are known to be fundamental in controlling innate immune responses,
their role in regulating adaptive immunity is just starting to be appreciated. We report that …

The immunology of pregnancy has been the focus of many studies to better understand how
the mother is able to tolerate the presence of a semi‐allogeneic fetus. Far from the initial …

Preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and miscarriage remain important causes of maternal
and perinatal morbidity and mortality. These complications are associated with reduced …

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have a central role in innate defenses against pathogens,
lymphoid organogenesis, and tissue remodeling. They have been detected in human …

Accumulation of activated neutrophils at the feto-maternal interface is a defining hallmark of
intrauterine inflammation (IUI) that might trigger an excessive immune response during …

The maternal leukocytes of the first-trimester decidua play a fundamental role in implantation
and early development of the fetus and placenta, yet little is known regarding the second …

Leukocyte infiltration into the uterus is a characteristic feature in early to midpregnancy, but
the composition and function of these leukocytes are not well understood. Using a pregnant …

Adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) respond directly to inflammation and
infection, causing both acute and persistent changes to quiescence, mobilization, and …

Preterm labor commonly precedes preterm birth, the leading cause of perinatal morbidity
and mortality worldwide. Most research has focused on establishing a causal link between …

Pregnancy is characterized by the presence of generalized leukocyte activation. We used
flow cytometry to investigate changes in phenotype and intracellular cytokines of circulating …
