Immunopathology of early pregnancy

Immunopathology of Early Pregnancy

One of the important discoveries in reproduction is that the reproductive process uses for its own purpose lymphokines and cytokines which were initially defined as being of immunologic nature, first traced within the immune system. This is not very surprising, since most of these molecules are more signaling factors and communication molecules between cells of various lineages than molecules s...

I-33: Early Assessment of Pregnancy Viability

Early determination of pregnancy viability is essential for women at risk for experiencing ectopic pregnancy or spontaneous abortion. Several markers of pregnancy viability have been identified including serial human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) monitoring and sonography, in addition to several less commonly available biochemical markers. An ideal test would be readily available, inexpensive an...

Early Inflammation , Immunopathology and Aging 1 2

1 7 1 8 Age-related diseases are often attributed to immunopathology, which results in self-1 9 damage caused by an inappropriate inflammatory response. Immunopathology 2 0 associated with early-life inflammation also appears to cause faster ageing, although 2 1 we lack direct experimental evidence for this association. To understand the 2 2 interactions between ageing, inflammation and immunop...
