## Abstract Cytokines, the polypeptide mediators of the immune system, were shown to exert numerous actions on endocrine functions. Bidirectional links based on the sharing of mediators and receptors between the immune and neuroendocrine systems lead to the concept of the immuneβneuroendocrine syst
Insights derived from recent studies employing rodent models demonstrate that the synthesis of pluripotent cytokines is an important function of resident cells in the female reproductive tract. Through steroid hormone regulated secretion of these mediators, resident cells appear to coordinate the re
