This editorial introduces a special issue focused on the molecular mechanisms governing uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. It highlights several included studies, such as one examining HOXA10 gene expression in women with endometriosis and others investigating endometrial microbiota, proteome changes from scratching, and non-coding RNA biomarkers for pregnancy outcomes. The text serves as an overview of diverse biological pathways influencing reproductive health rather than presenting new primary data. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.

Abstract

Uterine (endometrial) receptivity is the ability of the endometrium to successfully attach to the embryo, to promote its implantation, to nourish it and keep it alive [...].
