During placentation invasive extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) migrate into the maternal
uterus and modify its vessels. In particular, remodeling of the spiral arteries by EVTs is …

The placenta is the highly specialised organ of pregnancy that supports the normal growth
and development of the fetus. Growth and function of the placenta are precisely regulated …

The decidua has been known as maternal uterine tissue, which plays essential roles in
protecting the embryo from being attacked by maternal immune cells and provides …

The environment in which the fetus develops is critical for its survival and long-term health.
The regulation of normal human fetal growth involves many multidirectional interactions …

In humans, the uterus undergoes a dramatic transformation to form an endometrial stroma-
derived secretory tissue, termed decidua, during early pregnancy. The decidua secretes …

The placenta is the main determinant of fetal growth and development in utero. It supplies all
the nutrients and oxygen required for fetal growth and secretes hormones that facilitate …

The implantation process involves complex and synchronized molecular and cellular events
between the uterus and the implanting embryo. These events are regulated by paracrine …

Implantation, a critical step for establishing pregnancy, requires molecular and cellular
events resulting in uterine growth and differentiation, blastocyst adhesion, invasion, and …

The transformation of endometrium into decidua is an essential feature of normal
implantation and pregnancy. There is a close association with an unusual leukocyte …

The trophoblast, ie the peripheral part of the human conceptus, exerts a crucial role in
implantation and placentation. Both processes properly occur as a consequence of an …
