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

During implantation, a symphony of interaction between the trophoblast originated from the
trophectoderm of the implanting blastocyst and the endometrium leads to a successful …

STUDY QUESTION Does the interaction between integrin and its ligand osteopontin (OPN)
mediate embryonic attachment to endometrial epithelium at implantation? SUMMARY …

The avian eggshell is formed in the uterus. Changes in uterine function may have a
significant effect on eggshell quality. To identify the vital genes impacting uterine functional …

Deletion of the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)(Hmox1) locus in mice results in intrauterine
lethality. The expression of the heme catabolizing enzyme encoded by this gene, namely …

Implantation is a process of the first feto-maternal encounter in the uterus. A competent
blastocyst and a receptive uterus are critical for successful implantation. For an acquisition of …

Endometrial receptivity is mediated by adhesion molecules at the endometrium-trophoblast
interface where osteopontin (OPN) and CD44 form a protein complex that plays an important …

At the onset of pregnancy, embryo implantation is initiated by interactions between the
endometrial epithelium and the outer trophectoderm cells of the blastocyst. Osteopontin …

Context: The human endometrium is a complex multicellular tissue subject to cyclical
fluctuations in ovarian-derived steroid hormones. Fertile cycles are characterized by …

Abstract Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1, also known as osteopontin) binds integrins to
mediate cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix communication to promote cell adhesion …
