Possible involvement of crosstalk cell-adhesion mechanism by endometrial CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV and embryonal fibronectin in human blastocyst implantation
18 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
When human blastocysts hatch through the zona pellucida, gaining the ability to adhere to the endometrium, crosstalk between the embryo and the uterus may represent a successful outcome of their synchronized development and differentiation. CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV is known as a marker molecule of the implantation phase endometrium. To study the role of CD26 in implantation, 35 human hatched blastocysts were...
