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

Angiogenesis is an important component in the development of thyroid goitre. Vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) represents a family of specific endothelial cell mitogens …

The world's population is increasing at an alarming rate and is projected to reach nine billion
by 2050. Despite this, 15% of couples world-wide remain childless because of infertility. Few …

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 …

Prostaglandins impact on ovarian, uterine, placental, and pituitary function to regulate
reproduction in female livestock. They play important roles in ovulation, luteal function …

BACKGROUND: In this prospective randomized blinded clinical trial, we examined gene
expression profiles of the human endometrium during the early and mid-luteal phases of the …

Members of the Wnt family of signaling molecules are important in cell specification and
epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, and targeted gene deletion of Wnt-7a in mice results in …

Cryopreserved spermatozoa demonstrate reduced conception rates compared with fresh
spermatozoa when used for artificial insemination. The preliminary stage of cryopreservation …

A pregnancy rate of approximately 15% per cycle renders the process of human
reproduction inefficient. The cycle-dependent expression of molecules involved in the …

Implantation requires highly orchestrated interactions between the developing embryo and
maternal endometrium. The association between abnormal implantation and reproductive …
