Preimplantation factor modulates trophoblastic invasion throughout the decidualization of human endometrial stromal cells
Abstract Background Successful human embryo implantation requires the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) into decidual cells during a process called decidualization. ESCs express specific markers of decidualization, including prolactin, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (...
