TL;DR: This review gathers published recent evidence about the implications of different MMPs in preeclampsia, and the potential use of these enzymes as emergent biomarkers and biological therapeutic targets, focusing on studies involving human subjects.

TL;DR: Selective stimulation of fetal membranes with Escherichia coli results in a differential production of IL-1beta,IL-6, TNFalpha, IL-8, and IL-10, in agreement with the hypothesis that the choriodecidua may play a primary role during an ascending intrauterine infection.

TL;DR: The most recent findings regarding virus–host interactions at the placental interface are described and the mechanisms through which viruses may access trophoblasts and the pathogenic processes involved in viral dissemination at the maternal–fetal interface are investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the placenta and fetal organs from an early pregnancy miscarriage in a COVID-19 maternal infection were studied by immunohistochemical, reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy methods.

TL;DR: The results support the existence of selective subsets of leukocytes recruited to the maternal-fetal interface that may participate in the triggering of parturition.
