At implantation, with the acquisition of a receptive phenotype in the uterine epithelium, an
initial tenuous attachment of embryonic trophectoderm initiates reorganisation of epithelial …

Successful implantation is an absolute requirement for the reproduction of species, including
humans. The process by which a foreign blastocyst is accepted by the maternal …

Exosomes are nanoparticles (∼ 100 nm diameter) released from cells, which can transfer
small RNAs and mRNA via the extracellular environment to cells at distant sites. We …

Human embryo implantation is an intricate spatiotemporal process that involves the intimate
association between the embryo and the endometrium of the mother. During implantation …

Implantation, a critical step for establishing pregnancy, requires molecular and cellular
events resulting in uterine growth and differentiation, blastocyst adhesion, invasion, and …

A critical point in mammalian development is when the early embryo implants into its
mother's uterus. This event has historically been difficult to study due to the fact that it occurs …

Cell adhesion in endometrial epithelium is regulated to maintain the continuity and
protectiveness of the luminal covering cell layer while permitting interstitial implantation of …

The complex processes of embryo implantation and early placentation require a plethora of
locally acting molecules, which are themselves tightly regulated. Among these are cytokines …

Pregnancy is established during the periconceptional period as a continuum beginning with
blastocyst attachment to the endometrial epithelial surface followed by embryo invasion and …

The role of the endometrium is to establish and maintain pregnancy. Endometrial receptivity
is established during the mid-secretory phase, between cycle day (CD) 20 to 24, or 6 to 10 …
