Read the report by Dr. Renate van der Molen in the September 29, 2020 issue of Cell Reports entitled, “Clusters of Tolerogenic B Cells Feature in the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of the Pregnant Uterus”.
• B cells obtained from the fetal-maternal interface gain memory during gestation
• Unsupervised analysis shows B cell subsets with marker expression unique to the uterus
• Decidual B cells are able to secrete IL-10
• Clusters of decidual B cells also contain T cells, including Foxp3pos T cells
