Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be derived from various adult tissues with multipotent
and self‐renewal abilities. The characteristics of presenting no major ethical concerns …

The genetic factors associated with susceptibility or resistance to viral infections are likely to
involve a sophisticated array of immune response. These genetic elements may modulate …

Multiple mechanisms underlie the surprising willingness of mothers to tolerate genetically
different fetal tissues during pregnancy. Chief among these is the choice of HLA‐G, a gene …

Immune responses play an important role in various reproductive processes, including
ovulation, menstruation and parturition. Clearly, during pregnancy, when the mother must …

Over the past few years, HLA-G, the non-classical HLA class I molecule, has been the center
of investigations that have led to the description of its specific structural and functional …

During pregnancy, the human extra-villous trophoblast in the contact zone between
maternal and fetal tissue in the placenta does not express the classical MHC class I and II …

The non-classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class Ib genes, HLA-E,-G and-F, are
located on chromosome 6 in the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC). HLA class …

Different mechanisms mediated by the expression of the HLA‐class Ib HLA‐G products are
suggested to account for the induction of immune tolerance against the paternal antigens of …

HLA-G is a nonclassical MHC molecule with highly limited tissue distribution that has been
attributed chiefly immune regulatory functions. Glioblastoma is paradigmatic for the …

We recently reported that the nonclassical HLA class I molecule HLA-G was expressed in
the endomyocardial biopsies and sera of 16% of heart transplant patients studied. The aim …
