Journal ArticleDOI

Decidual NK cells regulate key developmental processes at the human fetal-maternal interface

TL;DR: It is shown that dNK cells, but not peripheral blood–derived NK subsets, regulate trophoblast invasion both in vitro and in vivo by production of the interleukin-8 and interferon-inducible protein–10 chemokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host immune system gene targeting by a viral miRNA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an algorithm for the prediction of miRNA targets and applied it to human cytomegalovirus miRNAs, resulting in the identification of the major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain B (MICB) gene as a top candidate target of hcmv-miR-UL112.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCL12 expression by invasive trophoblasts induces the specific migration of CD16- human natural killer cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated in vivo that invading EVTs that eventually perform endovascular invasion express CXCL12, the ligand for CXCR4, but not ligands forCXCR3, and that these receptors are involved in migration of all NK subsets to their ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Congenital Heart Defects Natural Course and In Utero Development

TL;DR: Although most fetal cardiac anomalies are detectable early in gestation, some may evolve in utero at different stages of pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examination of the fetal heart by five short-axis views: a proposed screening method for comprehensive cardiac evaluation.

TL;DR: Fetal cardiac malformations, with an incidence of 8 : 1000among livebirths, are the most common congenital malforma-tions, and their incidence is 6.5 times greater than chromosomalanomalies and 4 times that of neural tube defects.
