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 epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the prototypical member of a family of
membrane-associated intrinsic tyrosine kinase receptors, the ErbB family. EGFR is activated …

LINE-1s are the major clade of retrotransposons with autonomous retrotransposition activity.
Despite the potential genotoxicity, LINE-1s are highly activated in early embryos. Here we …

Embryo implantation into receptive endometrium requires synergistic endometrial-blastocyst
interactions within the uterine cavity and is essential for establishing pregnancy. We …

Paternal characteristics and exposures influence physiology and disease risks in progeny,
but the mechanisms are mostly unknown. Seminal fluid, which affects female reproductive …

All mammalian uteri contain glands in the endometrium that develop only or primarily after
birth. Gland development or adenogenesis in the postnatal uterus is intrinsically regulated …

This review considers how our understanding of preimplantation embryo metabolism has
progressed since the pioneering work on this topic in the late 1960s and early 1970s …

Epidemiological studies have indicated that susceptibility of human adults to hypertension
and cardiovascular disease may result from intrauterine growth restriction and low birth …

All mammalian uteri contain endometrial glands that synthesize or transport and secrete
substances essential for survival and development of the conceptus (embryo/fetus and …

In mammals, insemination results in the transmission of seminal factors that act, in the
female reproductive tract, to promote sperm survival, to “condition” the female immune …
