Abstract:Decidual natural killer cells (dNK cells) are an essential component of the immune cells present at the maternal–foetal interface during early pregnancy, and they play a vital role in various physiological processes. Abnormalities in the ratio or function of dNK cells have been linked to recurrent miscarriages. CD96 has been previously shown to regulate NK cell function in the tumour microenvironment; however, its role and mechanism at the maternal–foetal interface remains unclear. The present study aimed to i… Show more
