A lesson learned from modern developmental biology is the striking degree of conservation
of strategies and molecules used to program developmental events in species as diverse as …

Fertilization, implantation, and placentation are dynamic cellular events that require not only
synchrony between the maternal environment and the embryo, but also complex cell‐to‐cell …

Objective: To determine whether preeclampsia is associated with an increase in placental
apoptosis and differential expression of mediators of apoptosis. Methods: Placental samples …

The role of endometrial and embryonic integrins during implantation remains unresolved
although work in animal models and in humans supports their involvement in this process …

Objective: To reassess endometrial morphological criteria of normality identifying the best
morphological and molecular “implantation window” indicators in normal women. Design …

Objective: To compare traditional histologic dating criteria of the endometrium with
immunohistochemical criteria based on epithelial integrin expression during the menstrual …

This review covers the sequence of cell adhesion events occurring during implantation of
the mammalian embryo, concentrating on data from mouse and human. The analogy is …

Implantation is a highly co-ordinated event that involves both embryonic and endometrial
participation. The endometrium expresses a sophisticated repertoire of proteins during the …

Objective: To investigate the potential role of peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with or
without endometriosis in implantation in mice with use of the delayed implantation model …

In mammals the embryo must implant in the uterus and develop a placenta to gain nutrition
and facilitate gas exchange. In this article, the earliest events in this process are reviewed …
