摘要: The human endometrium contains a substantial population of leucocytes which vary in distribution during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. An unusual natural killer (NK) cells, termed uterine NK (uNK) are most abundant these cells early increase number uNK mid-secretory phase with further increases pregnancy has focused attention on role Despite many studies, vivo is uncertain. This chapter reviews current information regarding healthy evidence indicating their importance various reproductive problems. Studies humans limited by availability suitable tissues limitations extrapolation from animal models.
