Tamara Tilburgs @ttilburgs.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Great start of the week! Here I discuss my favorite topic on how the activation of decidual natural killer and T cells, through recognition of key extravillous trophoblast ligands, promotes placentation, tolerance, and immunity. Let me know what YOU think! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... 000
Tamara Tilburgs @ttilburgs.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Its published!!! Congratulations Zach, Shruti & Team!🥂 A story about how maternal decidual CD4 T cells are not all Treg, and that these effector memory and tissue resident memory cells recognize and respond to foreign fetal allo-antigens. doi-org.uc.idm.oclc.org/10.1111/aji.... 000
