The immunology of pregnancy is complex and poorly defined. During the complex process
of pregnancy, macrophages secrete many cytokines/chemokines and play pivotal roles in …

A successful human pregnancy requires precisely timed adaptations by the maternal
immune system to support fetal growth while simultaneously protecting mother and fetus …

It has long been believed that there is no immune interaction between mother and
conceptus during pregnancy. This concept changed after evidence was provided that the …

The pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are the most abundant trophoblastic proteins
in maternal blood during human pregnancy and they appear to be exclusive to species with …

During human pregnancy, a subset of placental cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) differentiates into
cells that aggressively invade the uterus and its vasculature, anchoring the progeny and …

Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily
and are closely related to the predominantly membrane-bound CEACAM proteins. PSGs are …

Protein N-linked glycosylation is a structurally diverse post-translational modification that
stores biological information in a larger order of magnitude than other post-translational …

Transforming growth factor-βs (TGF-βs) are secreted from cells as latent complexes and the
activity of TGF-βs is controlled predominantly through activation of these complexes …

Background Transport of molecules via exosomes is one of the factors involved in thyroid
cancer development, and transported molecules may serve as cancer biomarkers. The aim …

Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are immunoglobulin superfamily members
encoded by multigene families in rodents and primates. In human pregnancy, PSGs are …
