Pattern recognition receptor activity at the maternal fetal interface: Implications for preterm labour. / Aled Huws Bryant

Swansea University Author: Aled Huws Bryant

Abstract

SummaryInterest in the innate immune response at the maternal-fetal interface has developeddue to the association between intrauterine infection, inflammation and adversepregnancy outcomes. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) offer a link betweenmicrobial derived agonists and the production of infl...
