Host remodeling of the gut microbiome and metabolic changes during pregnancy. (2012, background): “Over the course of a normal, healthy pregnancy, the body undergoes substantial hormonal, immunological, and metabolic changes (Mor and Cardenas, 2010; Newbern and Freemark, 2011).”
Mucosal Immunity in the Female Genital Tract, HIV/AIDS (2014, background): “Hormones regulate the immune system throughout the female reproductive tract in a way that favors conditions for sperm migration, fertilization, implantation, and pregnancy [16, 17].”
A critical assessment of the “sterile womb” and “in utero colonization” hypotheses: implications for research on the pioneer infant microbiome (2017, background): “Importantly, EVTs also send tolerogenic signals to maternal leukocytes to prevent immune-mediated damage to the placenta [57].”
Evolution of the immune system in humans from infancy to old age (2015, positive): “(a) Pregnancy It is beyond the scope of this review to explore the immunology of pregnancy in detail (reviewed in [68,69]).”
Inflammation and pregnancy: the role of the immune system at the implantation site (2011, background): “All of these data further support the idea that the fetal-maternal immune interaction is more complex than the comparison to transplant allografts [17].”
