Circumvention of luteolysis reveals parturition pathways in mice dependent upon innate type 2 immunity

Divergence across species in the endocrine control of labor onset has hindered our understanding of parturition mechanisms. Siewiera et  al. uncover a parturition-promoting role for innate type 2 immunity in mice when they are manipulated endocrinologically to resemble humans.
