Embryo implantation involves the intimate interaction between an implantation-competent
blastocyst and a receptive uterus, which occurs in a limited time period known as the …

Women with endometriosis typically present with pelvic pain, infertility, or an adnexal mass,
and may require surgery. Treatment of endometriosis in the setting of infertility raises a …

Implantation of the embryo into the uterine endometrium is one of the most finely-regulated
processes that leads to the establishment of a successful pregnancy. A plethora of factors …

The endometrium maintains complex controls on proliferation and apoptosis as part of
repetitive menstrual cycles that prepare the endometrium for the window of implantation and …

The molecular changes that support implantation in eutherian mammals are necessary to
establish pregnancy. In marsupials, pregnancy is relatively short, and although a placenta …
