Immunological Aspects of Preterm Birth, a volume in the Reproductive Immunology book series, bridges reproductive
immunology of preterm birth to subtypes, phenotypes, and bedside prevention and treatment. This book reviews the
role of the different immune mechanisms during pregnancy leading to preterm birth and fetal programming effects that
are connected to maternal immune activation. This book also discusses immune cells and their products, cytokines and
chemokines, as central for the success of the pregnancy, from the process of implantation to parturition and the effects of
the changes on fetal programming.
While our knowledge on the role of immune cells and the inflammatory process in preterm birth has grown exponentially
in the last 10 years, connecting basic science to clinical science and development of new therapeutics has not progressed
as rapidly. This book assists researchers in understanding the basic immunologic mechanisms and inflammatory processes
associated with preterm birth and fills an urgent need for the development of therapeutics in this space.
