Reproductive Immunity explores the fascinating intersection of the immune and reproductive systems, essential for fertility, pregnancy, and overall health.
The book delves into how a mother's immune system tolerates a genetically distinct fetus while simultaneously defending against infections.
One intriguing area covered is the maternal-fetal interface, where immune tolerance is key to preventing complications like recurrent miscarriage.
Another is the role of the immune system in reproductive cancers, such as ovarian and cervical cancer, opening doors for innovative immunotherapies.
The book uniquely integrates cutting-edge immunology with clinical applications in reproductive medicine, providing a current overview of the field.
It emphasizes the importance of understanding immune mechanisms for advancing reproductive medicine.
Starting with the basic principles of reproductive immunology, the book systematically progresses through the maternal-fetal interface, immunological causes of infertility, and finally, the role of immunity in reproductive cancers, offering diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
