BACKGROUND Fertility depends on a receptive state of the endometrium, influenced by
hormonal and anatomical adaptations, as well as the immune system. Local and systemic …

Intensive research work has been performed to better understand the regulation of the
endometrium and its clinical implications to improve implantation. Although many proteins …

In humans, embryonic implantation and reproduction depends on the interaction of the
embryo with the receptive endometrium. To gain a global molecular understanding of …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to assess whether low maternal serum
cholesterol during pregnancy is associated with preterm delivery, impaired fetal growth, or …

Endometrial receptivity is a prerequisite for blastocyst implantation. During receptivity, the
hairy-like epithelial cell microvilli transiently fuse to a single flower-like membrane projection …

Fertility in humans and other mammalian species depends absolutely on synchronous
events that render the developing blastocyst and the receiving uterus competent for …

In vitro fertilization has overcome infertility issues for many couples. However, achieving
implantation of a viable embryo into the maternal endometrium remains a limiting step in …

Implantation of the blastocyst into the endometrium is a delicately controlled process and a
prerequisite for the furtherance of the mammalian species. A complex network of molecules …

The differentiation of human endometrial epithelium is a dynamic event that occurs
throughout the menstrual cycle and early pregnancy. The structural transformation and …

Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is present in vivo in the mid‐and late‐secretory endometria and is
mainly localized in the luminal epithelium. Our aim was to evaluate its function in regulating …
