Transcriptomic changes in the pre-implantation uterus highlight histotrophic nutrition of the developing marsupial embryo

Abstract excerpt

Early pregnancy is a critical time for successful reproduction; up to half of human pregnancies fail before the development of the definitive chorioallantoic placenta. Unlike the situation in eutherian mammals, marsupial pregnancy is characterised by a long pre-implantation period prior to the development of the short-lived placenta, making them ideal models for study of the uterine environment promoting...
