Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of implantation: strategies for successful pregnancy

TL;DR: Understanding molecular signaling networks that coordinate strategies for successful implantation and decidualization may lead to approaches to improve the outcome of natural pregnancy and pregnancy conceived from in vitro fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional deletion of MSX homeobox genes in the uterus inhibits blastocyst implantation by altering uterine receptivity

TL;DR: It is shown that the muscle segment homeobox gene (Msh) family members Msx1 and Msx2, which are two highly conserved genes critical for epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, also play crucial roles in embryo implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Entosis allows timely elimination of the luminal epithelial barrier for embryo implantation.

TL;DR: It is shown that LE cells in direct contact with the blastocyst are endocytosed by trophoblast cells by adopting the nonapoptotic cell-in-cell invasion process (entosis) in the absence of caspase 3 activation.
