Role of Interleukin 8 in Uterine Natural Killer Cell Regulation of Extravillous Trophoblast Cell Invasion

Extravillous trophoblast cell (EVT) invasion of maternal tissues is critical for successful pregnancy. Decidual factors, including uterine natural killer (uNK) and T cell derived cytokines play a role in regulating this process. Interleukin (IL) 8 has been implicated as a regulator of EVT invasion....
