The endometrium is normally a hostile environment for an embryo, except for a short phase
in each reproductive cycle known as the 'window of receptivity'. The precise molecular …

The implantation of fertilized ova and the formation of the placenta are crucial steps in
reproduction. This review summarizes current information about these steps, including some …

The process of embryonic implantation needs coordinated development and communication
between the blastocyst and the maternal endometrium. Considerable advances in the …

A lesson learned from modern developmental biology is the striking degree of conservation
of strategies and molecules used to program developmental events in species as diverse as …

The process of implantation is characterized by a complex cross-talk between the
endometrium and the blastocyst, with the endometrium only being receptive to implantation …

Human implantation is a highly complex and multifactorial process. Successful implantation
requires the presence of a healthy embryo, a receptive endometrium, and a synchronized …

Successful pregnancy is dependent upon the implantation of a competent embryo into a
receptive endometrium. Despite major advancement in our understanding of reproductive …

Implantation involves a series of steps leading to an effective reciprocal signaling between
the blastocyst and the uterus. Except for a restricted period when ovarian hormones induce …

Implantation is a complicated process that requires the orchestration of a series of events
involving both the embryo and the endometrium. Even with the transfer of high quality …

Successful implantation is the result of reciprocal interactions between the implantation-
competent blastocyst and receptive uterus. Although various cellular aspects and molecular …
