Developmental expression and function of DKKL1/Dkkl1 in humans and mice.

abstract：:The endometrium undergoes cyclic remodelling throughout the menstrual cycle in preparation for embryo implantation which occurs in a short window during the mid-secretory phase. It is during this short 'receptive window' that the endometrial luminal epithelium acquires adhesive capacity permitting blastocysts firm adh...
