Brief Summary

The involvement of the immune system in the process of implantation and its modulation as a therapeutic line in these alterations, failure of implantation and repetition abortion are controversial and make it necessary to conduct clinical studies properly led and with a study population chosen by strict criteria in order to better understand the involvement of the different innate and adaptive immune mechanisms in the field of reproductive medicine and especially in clinically expressed failures recurrent implantation failure and recurrent abortions.
