Decidualization denotes the transformation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into
specialized secretory decidual cells that provide a nutritive and immunoprivileged matrix …

Physiological and molecular processes initiated during implantation for pregnancy success
are complex but highly organized. This review primarily highlights adverse ripple effects …

The endometrium, which is of crucial importance for reproduction, undergoes dynamic cyclic
tissue remodeling. Knowledge of its molecular and cellular regulation is poor, primarily …

Embryo implantation involves the intimate interaction between an implantation-competent
blastocyst and a receptive uterus, which occurs in a limited time period known as the …

Reck, a GPI-anchored membrane protein, and Gpr124, an orphan GPCR, have been
implicated in Wnt7a/Wnt7b signaling in the CNS vasculature. We show here that vascular …

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 …

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 …

At implantation, with the acquisition of a receptive phenotype in the uterine epithelium, an
initial tenuous attachment of embryonic trophectoderm initiates reorganisation of epithelial …

The theory of retrograde menstruation as aetiopathogenesis of endometriosis formulated by
John Sampson in 1927 shows clear shortcomings: this does not explain why retrograde …

Wnt signaling determines major developmental processes in the embryonic state and
regulates maintenance, self-renewal and differentiation of adult mammalian tissue stem …
