ILC2s were the most abundant ILC subset at the human maternal-fetal interface during preterm and term gestations. Yet, during preterm labor, an increase in ILC2s and ILC3s was observed in the decidua basalis and decidua parietalis, respectively. These findings provide evidence demonstrating a role for ILCs at the maternal-fetal interface during the pathological process of preterm labor.
