    (WILEY, 2018) Xu, Yi; Romero, Roberto; Miller, Derek; Silva, Pablo; Panaitescu, Bogdan; Theis, Kevin R.; Arif, Afrah; Hassan, Sonia S.; Gomez Lopez, Nardhy
    Problem: Pathological inflammation is causally linked to preterm labor and birth, the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Our aims were to investigate whether (i) the newly described family of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) was present at the human maternal-fetal interface and (ii) ILC inflammatory subsets were associated with the pathological process of preterm labor.
