Reduction in Regulatory T Cells in Early Pregnancy Causes Uterine Artery Dysfunction in Mice.
Alison S. Care,Stephane L. Bourque,Jude S. Morton,Emma P. Hjartarson,Sarah A. Robertson,Sandra T. Davidge +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Treg-cell depletion resulted in increased embryo resorption and increased production of proinflammatory cytokines, which implicate TReg-cell control of maternal vascular function as a key mechanism underlying normal fetal and placental development.

Effect of Interleukin-10 Null Mutation on Maternal Immune Response and Reproductive Outcome in Mice
Christine A. White,Martina Johansson,Claire T. Roberts,Alistair J. Ramsay,Sarah A. Robertson +4 more
TL;DR: Although IL- 10 is not essential for maternal immune tolerance or successful pregnancy irrespective of MHC disparity in the fetus, maternal IL-10 is a determinant of growth trajectory in progeny in utero and after birth.

Fertility-related knowledge and information-seeking behaviour among people of reproductive age: a qualitative study.
Karin Hammarberg,Rebecca Zosel,Caroline Comoy,Sarah A. Robertson,Carol A Holden,Mandy Deeks,Louise Johnson +6 more
TL;DR: Several gaps in knowledge among people of reproductive age about factors that influence fertility and pregnancy health negatively are identified and addressing these knowledge gaps in school curricula, primary care and health promotion would assist people to realize their reproductive goals and reduce the risk of infertility and adverse obstetric outcomes.

Drug delivery to the human and mouse uterus using immunoliposomes targeted to the oxytocin receptor
Jonathan W. Paul,Susan Hua,Marina Ilicic,Jorge M. Tolosa,Trent Butler,Sarah A. Robertson,Roger Smith,Roger Smith +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that oxytocin receptor–targeted liposomes can be used to either inhibit or enhance human uterine contractions in vitro.

Null Mutation in Transforming Growth Factor β1 Disrupts Ovarian Function and Causes Oocyte Incompetence and Early Embryo Arrest
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that TGFbeta1 is a critical determinant of normal ovarian function, operating through regulation of LH activity and generation of oocytes competent for embryonic development and successful initiation of pregnancy.
