Deskripsi

Natural Killer cells regulate foetal growth. Here the authors use a humanized transgenic mouse to demonstrate that specific HLA-C KIR2DL interactions promote changes in maternal and foetal cell transcriptomes, resulting in modifications to placental vasculature, intercellular communications and foetal growth restriction.
