Can Murine Uterine Natural Killer Cells Give Insights Into the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia?

These studies aimed to advance understanding of the functions of pregnancy-associated uterinelymphocytes of the natural killer (NK) cell lineage. The approach was morphometric analysis of implantation sites from timed pregnancies in genetically modified mice deficient in NK cells or in signaling associated with their major product, the cytokine interferon-γ. In four different strains of pregnant, NK cell-deficient mice, the major decidual …
