Progesterone control of human endometrial cells
… alongside progesterone in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in vitro. Uterine Natural Killer (uNK) cells increase in number in secretory phase endometrial stroma, implying the control of progesterone on their expansion. However, they lack the nuclear progesterone receptor and growth and …

Immunogenetic regulation of Natural Killer cell function in pregnancy
Uterine NK (uNK) cells are a distinct subset of NK cells in the decidua of humans and rodents during pregnancy, which are essential for remodelling of the spiral arteries supplying the feto-placental unit. Similarly to peripheral NK cells, uNK cells express Natural Killer receptors (NKRs) that …

Molecular definition of group 1 innate lymphoid cells in the uterus
Uterine NK cells (uNKs) are group 1 (g1) innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that have been shown to regulate remodelling of uterine blood vessels, an event necessary to support fetal growth. Recently, other ILCs were identified in the mucosa and wall of the uterus of mice and women, pregnant or not. They …

Stress and Recurrent Miscarriage
… markers including cortisol, natural killer cells and prolactin. The first part of this thesis compared the psychological stress status in a cohort of women with unexplained RM with that of fertile health women. The results showed that women with RM had higher levels of psychological stress …

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells and reproduction
… showed that tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are crucial regulators of both physiology and pathology of the tissues they populate. Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are a subtype of ILCs known to regulate trophoblast invasion, uterine vascular adaptation to pregnancy, and foetal …
