Abstract STUDY QUESTION Does glycodelin-A (GdA) induce conversion of human
peripheral blood CD16− CD56bright natural killer (NK) cells to decidual NK (dNK) cells to …

For human infertility both male and female factors may be equally important. Searching for
molecular biomarkers of male infertility, neglected for decades, and the attempts to explain …

Mammalian spermatozoa attain the ability to fertilize an oocyte as they negotiate the female
reproductive tract. This acquisition of functional competence is preceded by an intricate …

Glycans, oligo-and polysaccharides secreted or attached to proteins and lipids, cover the
surfaces of all cells and have a regulatory capacity and structural diversity beyond any other …

Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins and
plays an essential role in spermatogenesis, maturation, extracellular quality control …

Successful pregnancy depends largely on adequate placentation and maternal tolerance of
the fetus. Glycodelin‐A is a glycoprotein abundant in the decidua during early pregnancy. It …

Sperm development, maturation, and successful fertilization within the female reproductive
tract are intricate and orderly processes that involve protein translation and post …

Glycodelin-A (GdA) is a glycoprotein secreted from the endometrial glands and decidual
