Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 Signaling Pathway Is Required for Endometrial Decidualization in Mice and Human
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0075282

Decidualization is a crucial change required for successful embryo implantation and the maintenance of pregnancy. During this process, endometrial stromal cells differentiate into decidual cells in response to the ovarian steroid hormones o…
