Regulation of Implantation and Establishment of Pregnancy in Mammals

Regulation of Implantation and Pregnancy in Mammals

An advanced scientific reference examining the biological mechanisms that regulate implantation and the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy across mammalian species. It explores maternal–conceptus interactions, reproductive signaling, and the molecular factors involved in successful pregnancy, with applications to infertility and embryonic loss.
