The Human Blastocyst Regulates Endometrial Epithelial Apoptosis in Embryonic Adhesion1
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
The implanting blastocyst must appose and adhere to the endometrial epithelium and, subsequently, invade it. Locally regulated uterine epithelial apoptosis induced by the embryo is a crucial step of the epithelial invasion in rodents. To address the physiological relevance of this process in humans, we investigated the effect of single human blastocysts on the regulation of apoptosis in cultured human endometrial...
