A new study shows that the embryo and the uterine lining conduct an active "conversation" from the very earliest stages of implantation. They engage in a back and forth of tiny packages called ...

(A) Messages released by the embryo influence how fat droplets move and function in cells lining the uterus. Courtesy: Alisa Komsky-Elbaz and Eshel Dilevsky; (B) Fat droplets from uterine cells are ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with the Dexeus University Hospital have captured unparalleled images of a human embryo implanting. This is the ...

To facilitate proper implantation, endometrial stroma cells (ESC) differentiate into decidual cells in a process known as decidualization. To visualize actin dynamics, researchers tagged actin ...

Scientists have found a genetic “switch” involving HOXA10 and TWIST2 that is important for embryo implantation. This discovery also connects long-term stress to fertility through epigenetics. Learning ...
