Embryo implantation is a complex process that involves synchronized crosstalk between a receptive endometrium and a functional blastocyst. It can take place only during the window of implantation, a period when a series of changes in gene expression occur in the endometrium to accept the embryo. As modulators of gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) ...

Complex interplay of innate and adaptive immune cells has been implicated in the establishment, maintenance, and progression of endometriosis. Defining the identity, activation state, and functional role of immune cells during lesion establishment will provide invaluable insight into the underlying mechanisms of disease. This study utilized a trans...

The transient receptor potential channels are membrane-binding proteins that are nonselectively permeable for cations, such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, in numerous mammalian cells. The extracellular or intracellular ions play key roles in physiological functions including muscle contraction, cytokine production, insulin release, and apoptosis. Although trans...
