I-28: Uterine Receptivity

Redefining Endometrial Receptivity

However, the notion of receptivity as a static state in which the tissue is poised, frozen in time, awaiting the arrival of an adequately developed embryo, is naïve. An integrative definition of receptivity must embrace communication between maternal and embryonic tissues. At receptivity, the endometrium has reached a point at which negotiation can begin that may or may not lead to successful i...

How Gender and age Shape Receptivity

DOI: 10.2501/JAR-51-1-258-275 INTRoDUCTIoN To generate brand awareness for its Old Spice fragrance line, Procter & Gamble invited Facebook users to “Turn Up Your Man Smell” by becoming “fans” of its products. Within a week, the brand’s fan page had more than 120,000 new fans (Morrisey, 2009). Not content merely to draw fans to its Facebook page, the Red Robin restaurant chain enlisted Facebook ...

Molecular and cellular aspects of endometrial receptivity.

Endocrine and paracrine controls regulate the endometrium during the luteal phase of the cycle to permit implantation. Part of this differentiation process is the production of a specific secretion which fills the intrauterine cavity and glandular lumen. Its molecular composition originates from the gland secretion, from transudations from stroma, from the endometrial blood vessels, and last, b...

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor and Human Endometrial Receptivity

Embryo implantation requires both an activated blastocyst and a receptive endometrium. The human endometrium undergoes extensive remodeling in each menstrual cycle to prepare the endometrium for implantation, should conception occur in that cycle. For most of the cycle, the endometrium is retained in a non-receptive or refractory state and it will support implantation of the blastocyst for only...
