Evolution of embryo implantation was enabled by the origin of decidual cells in eutherian mammals

2018-09-27

Abstract excerpt

Embryo implantation is the first step in the establishment of pregnancy in eutherian (Placental) mammals. Although viviparity evolved prior to the common ancestor of marsupials and eutherian mammals (therian ancestor), implantation is unique to eutherians. The ancestral therian pregnancy likely involved a short phase of attachment between the fetal and maternal tissues followed by parturition rather than implantat...
