technological and conceptual advances that further our understanding of the immune cells
enriched at the maternal–fetal interface. Using new isolation strategies to better separate
maternal-and fetal-derived cells, the authors identify previously undefined maternal-derived
immune cells associated with the fetal-derived placenta and provide an in-depth analysis of
the markers and characteristics of placental Hofbauer cells.
