This book focuses on uterine endometrial function and receptivity
from multiple perspectives. The chapters cover a variety of topics
including the role of estrogen and progesterone, animal models,
parameters for assessing endometrial receptivity, the mechanism of
angiogenesis, epigenetic regulation, and stem/progenitor cells.
Despite nearly 35 years of experience with in vitro fertilization,
the rate of successful implantations remains low. Abnormal
endometrial receptivity has been proposed as one of the factors
contributing to reduced reproductive potential in women, but our
understanding of it is limited. Endometrial receptivity results
from an orchestrated interplay between the embryo and the maternal
endometrium, and the receptive status, known as the window of
implantation, is reached only briefly in the mid-luteal phase. This
book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in
endometrial function and paves the way for innovative treatments
and drug development for infertility. This work will appeal to a
wide readership, from researchers on endometrial function and
assisted reproductive technology (ART) to clinicians and
technicians in the field of gynecology.
