Clinical Report: Insights into the Immunological Impact of the Maternal Microbiome
Overview
Revise to include specific examples of how microbiota influence pregnancy outcomes.
Background
The understanding of the maternal microbiome's role during pregnancy has evolved, challenging the notion of a sterile uterine environment. The endometrium is now recognized to harbor microbiota that interact with the maternal immune system, influencing key processes such as implantation and early pregnancy. This topic is critical as it may lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for managing pregnancy complications.
