{Abstract}: Pregnancy is a highly regulated biological phenomenon that involves the development of a semi-allogeneic fetus inside the uterus of the mother. The maternal-fetal interface is a critical junction where communication takes place between the fetal and maternal immune systems, which determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The interface is composed of the decidua and placenta. The main cells present at the maternal-fetal interface include invading trophoblasts, maternal immune cells, and decidual stromal cells. Although maternal tolerance is crucial for maintaining a successful pregnancy, the role of the placenta in pregnancy is also important. Dysregulation of the placenta leads to various placenta-mediated complications, such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, and placental abruption. Although the exact mechanism involving these complications is unclear, research has elucidated various factors involved in these pregnancy disorders. This review aimed to provide a summary of the maternal-fetal interface and immune mechanisms involved in placenta-mediated complications.
