    Deciphering the preeclampsia-specific immune microenvironment and the role of pro-inflammatory macrophages at the maternal–fetal interface

    Haiyi Fei, Xiaowen Lu ... Lingling Jiang
    Multi-omics analysis shows that preeclampsia-specific immune cell network was regulated by Folr2+Ccl7+Ccl8+C1qa+C1qb+C1qc+ pro-inflammatory macrophages, which can induce the CD8+ and Th17 memory T cells generation while inhibiting the gMDSCs production.
