Uterine receptivity to human embryonic implantation: Histology, biomarkers, and transcriptomics SEMINARS IN CELL & DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY Aghajanova, L., Hamilton, A. E., Giudice, L. C. 2008; 19 (2): 204-211

Abstract

Embryonic implantation is a dynamic process of paracrine interactions between the maternal compartment and the conceptus and involves a receptive endometrium and a developmentally competent blastocyst. Herein, we review histology, clinical approaches, and the promise of transcriptomics in elucidating mechanisms underlying implantation and development of biomarkers of uterine receptivity-with an eye to diagnose and treat implantation-based disorders of miscarriage, fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, and infertility.
