Msx Homeobox Genes Act Downstream of BMP2 to Regulate Endometrial Decidualization in Mice and in Humans

Abstract excerpt

Endometrial stromal cells differentiate to form decidual cells in a process known as decidualization, which is critical for embryo implantation and successful establishment of pregnancy. We previously reported that bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) mediates uterine stromal cell differentiation in mice and in humans. To identify the downstream target(s) of BMP2 signaling during decidualization, we performed...
