Book Description
Reproductive Immunology: Basic Concepts gives a holistic insight into the understanding of the complex interactions between the maternal immune system and the fetal/placental unit necessary for the success of pregnancy. This interaction is critical for the support of the human fetal semiallograft and the protection against infections. The book covers various topics such as B cells, macrophages, T cells, discussion on fetal signals and their impact on maternal reproductive cells such as endometrial cells, mast cells, and the role of fetal Hofbauer cells, the immune regulatory role of glucorticoids, and many other novel topics within the field of reproductive immunology. Edited and written by experts in the field, this book introduces the up-to-date knowledge of the role of the immune system during pregnancy and provides the necessary background to understand pregnancy complications associated with alterations in the functioning of the immune system. The book provides a complete discussion on the immunological aspects of pregnancy and serves as a great tool for research scientists, students, reproductive immunologists and OBGYNs. - Shows the detailed evaluation of the knowledge related to each immune cell type in the pregnant and not pregnant uterus - Evaluates each immune cell type and its function during specific reproductive events - Provides the biological background for understanding the clinical aspects that will be discussed in subsequent volumes in the series

Book Description
The 29 papers contained in this volume look closely at various aspects of what is termed, "The Maternal-Fetal Interface," as it relates to the latest research in placental science. A substantial section of the book is devoted to the troublesome question of vertical transmission of infectious agents: namely, the HIV-1 virus. However, other sections of the volume examine related issues such as drug and toxin transfer across the term placenta and the diversity of placental types and how this can affect a placenta's effectiveness as a barrier.

Book Description
Pregnancy is a physiologically and immunologically challenging health state. Immunological and physiological changes throughout the course of pregnancy make pregnant women usually susceptible to infection with microbial agents. Infections with pathogens during pregnancy can have devastating consequences to both the fetus and his/her mother. These infections are linked with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Infections with parasites, viruses, or bacteria can be associated with maternal anemia, abortion, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm delivery, fetal morbidity and high risk of mortality during the first years of life. Despite these significant consequences and complications associated with infections by microbial pathogens during the course of gestation, very little is known about the underlying mechanisms of the pathogenesis and immunopathology of infections during pregnancy. The Research Topic proposed here in, will focus on microbial infections during pregnancy. Studies and review papers addressing the pregnant host/fetus/pathogen interactions, the host/fetus immunological response against infections during gestation, trans-placental transfer of infections during pregnancy are welcome. Topics related to model systems used to mirror the biology in human, the pathogenesis and molecular pathways as well as the mechanisms of the disease at the maternofetal interface including the placenta, the amniotic fluid, and the fetal membranes will be considered making the scope and interest of the topic relatively broad. There is a growing number of pathogens associated with pregnancy. In most cases, women are more susceptible to infections with these pathogens when they become pregnant in comparison to their non-pregnant counterparts. Unfortunately, vertical transmission occurs in most cases but the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. The placenta has always been considered as a barrier against congenital infections but studies have indicated that microbial pathogens breach this barrier. The amniotic fluid, and the fetal membranes are also important components of vertical transmission because of their non-sterile state even in most healthy pregnancies. During pregnancy, infections by malaria or toxoplasmosis as well as other viral or bacterial pathogens lead to an uncontrolled inflammatory response recognized as a significant cause for preterm delivery and intra uterine growth retardation leading to low birth weight, a risk factor to infant morbidity and mortality. To successfully prevent, treat, eradicate or educate about microbial infections during pregnancy, we must understand the molecular mechanisms by which they cause poor birth outcomes including how vertical transmission occurs at the maternofetal interface.
