J Cell Sci . 2020 Jun; 133(14). PMID: 32513821
Decidual macrophages constitute 20-30% of the total leukocytes in the uterus of pregnant women, regulating the maternal immune tolerance and placenta development. Abnormal number or activities of decidual macrophages (dMs)...

Hum Reprod . 2019 Jan; 34(4):689-701. PMID: 30597092
Study Question: Does glycodelin-A (GdA) induce conversion of human peripheral blood CD16-CD56bright natural killer (NK) cells to decidual NK (dNK) cells to facilitate placentation? Summary Answer: GdA binds to blood...

Lee C, Lam K, Vijayan M, Koistinen H, Seppala M, Ng E, et al.
Am J Reprod Immunol . 2016 Jan; 75(3):290-7. PMID: 26757357
Successful pregnancy depends largely on adequate placentation and maternal tolerance of the fetus. Glycodelin-A is a glycoprotein abundant in the decidua during early pregnancy. It plays an important role in...

J Biol Chem . 2012 Sep; 287(44):36999-7009. PMID: 22977256
Macrophages represent the second major type of decidual leukocytes at the fetomaternal interface. Changes in macrophage number and activity are associated with fetal loss and pregnancy complications. Glycodelin-A (GdA) is...

J Biol Chem . 2011 Sep; 286(43):37118-27. PMID: 21880722
During placentation, the cytotrophoblast differentiates into the villous cytotrophoblast and the extravillous cytotrophoblast. The latter invades the decidualized endometrium. Glycodelin-A (GdA) is abundantly synthesized by the decidua but not the...

Lee C, Lam K, Koistinen H, Seppala M, Kurpisz M, Fernandez N, et al.
J Reprod Immunol . 2011 Jun; 90(1):29-34. PMID: 21641661
Glycodelin-A (GdA) is a glycoprotein secreted from the endometrial glands and decidual glandular epithelium. Given its abundance and ubiquitous distribution in the first trimester uterus, GdA may be involved in...

Hum Reprod . 2011 Jan; 26(3):517-26. PMID: 21227941
Background: The maternal-fetal interface has a unique immunological response towards the implanting placenta. It is generally accepted that a T-helper type-2 (Th-2) cytokine prevailing environment is important in pregnancy. The...
