Compartmentalized Innate Immune Response of Human Fetal Membranes against <i>Escherichia coli</i> Choriodecidual Infection

Compartmentalized Innate Immune Response of Human Fetal Membranes against <i>Escherichia coli</i> Choriodecidual Infection

An infectious process into the uterine cavity represents a major endangered condition that compromises the immune privilege of the maternal–fetal unit and increases the risk for preterm birth (PTB) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Fetal membranes are active secretors of antimicrobial pepti...
