Highlights

•Decidual natural killer (dNK) cells transfer anti-microbial peptides to placental trophoblasts to defend against infections.

•Newly described maternal placenta-associated macrophages and monocytes (PAMMs) may function in innate immune defense.

•Fetal-derived placental macrophages mount innate immune responses, yet may also be viral reservoirs for TORCH pathogens.

•Anti-viral interferon secretion by placental trophoblasts contributes to placental dysfunction in congenital infections.

•Novel organoid models and single-cell technologies can be applied to innate immunity at the human maternal-fetal interface
