HLA-G and endometrial receptivity.
The endometrium is a complex and dynamic tissue, which experiences physiological and cyclical changes each month, in response to ovarian hormones, cytokines and chemokines [1-3]. The embryo is capable of attach to the uterine endometrium during a short and selflimited period, in which the endometrial tissue acquires a functional condition that allows ...
