Defective endometrial decidualization is one major cause of female infertility, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we identified that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), which was upregulated during decidualizatio…

BACKGROUND: Impaired decidualization is associated with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is known to play an important role in decidua formation. However, the specific impact of LPA in endometrial decidua…

STUDY QUESTION: Does the downregulation of cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) protein in endometrial stroma lead to endometrial senescence in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF), and what is the potential mechanism? SUMMARY ANSW…

BACKGROUND: Successful embryo implantation requires the attachment of a blastocyst to the receptive endometrial epithelium, which was disturbed in the women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Endometrial β3-integrin was the most imp…

BACKGROUND: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) usually affects young women of childbearing age. After treatment for GTD, 86% of women wish to achieve pregnancy. On account of the impacts of GTD and treatments as well as patient anxiety…

Abstract Decidualization is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation, in which elongated fibroblast-like endometrial stromal cells differentiate into more rounded decidual cells. Accumulating evidence has stressed the important ro…

Embryo adhesion is a very important step in the embryo implantation process. Homeobox A10 (HOXA10), a key transcriptional factor of endometrial receptivity, is indispensable for embryo adhesion. However, how to control the activation status…
