The network that guarantees the initiation and completion of pregnancy includes decidual cells that are informed by microparticles about the evolving characteristics of the feto–placental unit and the maternal immune system. The maternal microbiota exerts influences that shape the outcome of reciprocal decidual/feto–placental unit interaction. See text for details.
