Implantation is an intricately timed event necessary in the process of viviparous birth that
allows mammals to nourish and protect their young during early development. Human …

The process of implantation and trophoblast invasion is currently considered as the most
limiting factor for the establishment of pregnancy. Molecular interactions at the embryo …

Endometrial cells take part in embryo–maternal communication, as well as supporting the
immune system in defending against invading pathogens. The aim of the present study was …

Mammalian uteri are unreceptive to blastocyst implantation except during a relatively brief
period. The transmembrane, cell surface mucin, Muc1, is present on epithelial cells of …

Fertility in humans and other mammalian species depends absolutely on synchronous
events that render the developing blastocyst and the receiving uterus competent for …

Based on our previous observation that peritoneal endometriotic (PE) lesions synthesize in
vivo substantially more haptoglobin (Hp) than related eutopic tissues, we hypothesized that …

Initiation of embryo implantation involves adhesion of trophoblast cells to the epithelial lining
of the endometrium. The mechanisms regulating the adhesive properties of the uterine …

Background Overweight and obese women have been shown to have an increased risk of
recurrent miscarriage as well as other adverse reproductive outcomes, but it is yet unclear …

Multiple environmental, behavioral, and hereditary factors affect pregnancy. Recent studies
suggest that epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation (DNAm), affect both …

Background An early, reliable and noninvasive method of early pregnancy diagnosis is
prerequisite for efficient reproductive management in dairy industry. The early detection of …
