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

The human endometrium is characterized by exceptional plasticity, as evidenced by rapid
growth and differentiation during the menstrual cycle and fast tissue remodeling during early …

The human placenta plays a crucial role as the interface between mother and fetus. It
represents a unique tissue that undergoes morphological as well as functional changes on …

Two human epithelial cell lines, trophoblastic teratocarcinoma HT-H and endometrial
adenocarcinoma SNG-M cells, adhere to each other at their respective apical cell surfaces …

BACKGROUND: There are few effective approaches to infertile patients with repeated failure
in IVF–embryo transfer therapy. Since recent evidence suggests that some populations of …

In the past 25 years many techniques have been developed to characterize cell adhesion
and to quantify adhesion forces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to measure …

At embryo implantation, it is postulated that the initial contact between blastocyst and
maternal tissues is by adhesion of the trophoblast to the uterine epithelium. This cell-to-cell …

There is an urgent need to develop optimized experimental models to examine human
implantation. These studies aimed to (i) establish a human endometrium-like three …

Despite advances in assisted reproductive techniques in the 4 decades since the first
human birth after in vitro fertilisation, 1–2% of couples experience recurrent implantation …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of embryo attachment and outgrowth
critical for successful implantation. While EVs have garnered immense interest in their …
