Hyaluronan-CD44 interaction promotes growth of decidual stromal cells in human first-trimester pregnancy.

Hyaluronan-CD44 interaction promotes growth of decidual stromal cells in human first-trimester pregnancy.

Hyaluronan (HA) and its receptor CD44 are expressed at the maternal-fetal interface, but its role in early pregnancy remains unclear. Here, we found that primary decidual stromal cells (DSCs) continuously secreted HA and expressed its receptor CD44. Pregnancy-associated hormones up-regulated HA synt...
