Sequencing Analysis Reveals Potential NAD+-Regulated Mechanisms in Endometrial Stromal Cell Decidualization Prior to Embryo Implantation

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background: This study aimed to investigate the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in endometrial decidualization prior to embryo implantation and to elucidate the underlying mechanism.

Leukemia inhibitory factor enhances endometrial stromal cell decidualization in humans and mice.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Adequate differentiation or decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESC) is critical for successful pregnancy in humans and rodents. Here, we investigated the role of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in human and murine decidualization.

Compartmentalized Culture of Perivascular Stroma and Endothelial Cells in a Microfluidic Model of the Human Endometrium [PDF]

, 2017
The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. Following specific cyclic hormonal stimulation, endometrial stromal fibroblasts (stroma) and vascular endothelial cells exhibit morphological and biochemical changes to support embryo implantation and ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

poFUT1 promotes endometrial decidualization by enhancing the O-fucosylation of Notch1Research in context

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Endometrial stromal cell decidualization is critical for embryo implantation. Dysfunctional decidualization leads to implantation failure, miscarriage and even pregnancy associated disorders in subsequent pregnancy trimesters.

Expression and function of transient receptor potential channels in the female bovine reproductive tract [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. The epithelium lining the oviduct is critical for early reproductive events, many of which are mediated via intracellular calcium ions.

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Influence of relative NK-DC abundance on placentation and its relation to epigenetic programming in the offspring [PDF]

, 2014
Normal placentation relies on an efficient maternal adaptation to pregnancy. Within the decidua, natural killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells (DC) have a critical role in modulating angiogenesis and decidualization associated with pregnancy.

Epigenetic Perspectives on Maternal Gut Microbiota's Impact on Embryonic and Fetal Development

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review summarizes how maternal health and nutrition shape gut microbiota via epigenetics to regulate embryonic development. It highlights microbiota‐embryo interactions, disruption by prenatal chemical exposures, and personalized nutrition for disease prevention, offering novel insights and therapeutic targets.

Decidual cell invasion and decidualization at the trophoblast-decidual interaction in the progression of cesarean scar pregnancy

Journal of Reproductive Immunology
KISS1 plays a role in the trophoblast in terms of imbalances in trophoblast-decidua interactions during cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). However, genes in decidual cells remain poorly understood. To elucidate the role of the KISS1 gene in the invasion process of decidual cells during the progression of CSP, decidual tissue samples were collected from the
