Article Abstract
Analysis of the expression of FasL in the local decidua of pregnant mice and examination of the apoptosis of T cells in peripheral blood and local decidua indicated that adoptive transference of FasL-gene-modified dendritic cells may induce pregnancy immune tolerance by increasing FasL expression in the maternal-fetal interface and inducing the apoptosis of T cells in local decidua but not the peripheral blood.

Effects of sildenafil treatment on placental immune cell subsets in early-onset fetal growth restriction.

Introduction: Early onset fetal growth restriction is a common pregnancy complication with significant risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity. The most common etiology is placental insufficiency, reflected by several placental lesions that appear with fetal growth restriction. Placental immune cells are involved in almost all aspects of the development of the placenta and immune cell imbalances have been related to common pregnancy complications.

Article Synopsis
- - The study developed a human immune system (HIS) mouse model to better understand human materno-fetal immunity, which is crucial for clearing pathogens while tolerating the fetus.
- - Human immunity shows a tolerant state mid-gestation (E14.5) but becomes inflammatory by late gestation (E19), with macrophages and Treg cells playing critical roles in this immune transition.
- - This HIS mouse model can enhance our knowledge of human materno-fetal immunity and could aid in drug discovery for reproductive disorders.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1) and its receptor CX3CR1 in the immune response during preeclampsia, focusing on macrophage function and trophoblast invasion.
- Researchers analyzed placental and decidual tissues from 60 women, finding higher levels of CX3CL1 and CX3CR1 in severe preeclampsia cases compared to normotensive pregnancies.
- The results suggest that the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling pathway negatively impacts vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and inhibits the invasion and migration abilities of trophoblast cells, which may contribute to complications in preeclamps

Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2 infection impacts multiple organs, including the placenta, causing tissue changes and vascular injuries in pregnant women.
- This study analyzed placenta samples from women with active or past COVID-19 infections and compared them to control samples to assess specific markers related to the virus and overall health.
- Key findings included the detection of the virus's SPIKE protein and increased levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in infected samples, suggesting potential autophagy processes affecting the placenta and implications for mother-to-fetus transmission.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. Ovulatory dysfunction is recognized as a primary infertile factor, however, even when ovulation is medically induced and restored, PCOS patients continue to experience reduced cumulative pregnancy rates and a higher spontaneous miscarriage rate. Hyperandrogenism, a hallmark feature of PCOS, affects ovarian folliculogenesis, endometrial receptivity, and the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy.
