Expression of co-signaling molecules TIM-3/Galectin-9 at the maternal-fetal interface
The research results suggest that Galectin-9 and TIM-3, as important immune co-signaling molecules, may play a crucial role in maintaining the immune-tolerant microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface. Additionally, the association between decidualization and Galectin-9 expression reveals its potential role in pregnancy maintenance, providing new insights for the study of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
