Features: The book consists of 850,000 words, divided into 9 parts and 43 chapters. It references a large amount of domestic and international research materials and literature, striving to systematically, comprehensively, and deeply reflect the highest level of modern reproductive immunology research. The content includes local immunity of the reproductive tract, immune tolerance during pregnancy, immunological factors of childbirth, immune-related pathological pregnancy (recurrent spontaneous abortion, preeclampsia-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction), as well as the immune mechanisms and treatments of some pregnancy complications and comorbidities. It also covers reproductive tract infection immunity, tumor immunity, immune infertility, and immune contraception, all of which are hot topics in the field of reproductive immunology in recent years. Each part has both independence and specificity, as well as necessary interconnections and repetitions. In addition to introducing the relevant immunological basic theories and their progress, the book also provides detailed introductions to the recent advances in both basic and clinical research on reproductive immunology domestically and internationally, new research hotspots and development trends, as well as important issues that exist or urgently need to be addressed, for readers to think about and analyze. This book is an advanced reference for reproductive immunology, primarily aimed at medical students, graduate students, medical workers and researchers in hospitals and research institutions engaged in reproductive immunology-related work.
