Figure 1: A schematic diagram illustrating decidual NK cells as switchboards, licensed and educated to control trophoblast invasion and vascular remodeling and to interact with dendritic cells ...

Although these decidual ‘NKγδT-like’ cells may be associated with dNK cells, as the expression of CD56 on lymphoid cells serves rather as a phenotypical marker, conclusions must be made carefully. To ...

IN 1949 I published a hypothesis suggesting that the cyto- and syncytio-trophoblast were derived from the granulosa cells that surround the egg when it leaves the ovary; the argument, however ...

Finally, we summarized information about the molecular networks that control assumption of placental identity and, later on, promote differentiation. Scientific Abstract: Trophoblast stem cells (TSC) ...
