Reproductive Immunology
Reproductive immunology is a branch of immunology that focuses on the interaction between the immune system and the reproductive system. It examines how the immune system plays a role in fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth, as well as how immune responses can impact reproductive health. This field also investigates how the body's immune system responds to sperm, eggs, embryos, and placental tissue, and how immune disorders can affect reproductive outcomes. Understanding reproductive immunology is crucial for addressing issues such as infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and pregnancy complications.
