Immune-featured decidual stromal cells: pregnancy's multitasking superstars

Trends Immunol. 2023 Nov;44(11):862-864. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2023.09.009. Epub 2023 Oct 20.ABSTRACTPregnancy poses an immunological challenge, since the mother's immune system must adapt to tolerate the developing embryo until birth. The mechanisms governing this maternal-fetal dialogue have traditionally centered on the immune system. Yang et al. propose a new concept: immune-featured decidual stromal cells (DSCs), which emerge as pivotal players in mammalian maternal-fetal crosstalk.PMID:37867112 | DOI:10.1016/j.it.2023.09.009
