Immune Cells in the Uterine Remodeling: Are They the Target of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals?

Sufficient uterine remodeling is essential for fetal survival and development. Pathologies related to poor remodeling have a negative impact on maternal and fetal health even years after birth. Research of the last decades yielded excellent studies demonstrating the key role of immune cells in the r...
