On the basis of their recent studies, several researchers have suggested that the infertility associated with mild endometriosis is due to the alteration of peritoneal fluid, resulting in impairment of the viability of gametes or embryos. E…
Study questionIs protein expression of the muscle segment homeobox gene family member MSX1 altered in the human secretory endometrium by cell type, developmental stage or fertility?Summary answerMSX1 protein levels, normally elevated in the…
Intricate and precise communication between the blastocyst and the uterus orchestrates embryo implantation. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding the molecular complexities of implantation. On-time implantation requires a rece…
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 window of implantation. Emerging evidence shows that defects origi…
BackgroundAlthough histological dating of endometrial biopsies provides little help for prediction or diagnosis of infertility, analysis of individual endometrial proteins, proteomic profiling and transcriptome analysis have suggested sever…
