The landscape of decidual immune cells at the maternal–fetal interface in parturition and preterm birth
4 Mar 2025

BACKGROUND: Parturition is similar to an inflammatory response in which resident and infiltrating immune cells release cytokines and chemokines into the maternal-fetal interface, promoting expulsion of the fetus from the mother. The untimely activation of these inflammatory pathways can result in preterm labor. The maternal-fetal interface is composed mainly of decidual tissue and placental villous space....
