Considering IL1's immunomodulatory, proangiogenic and tissue remodeling properties, and its role as an embryonic signal, modulation of endometrial cell responsiveness to IL1 via the concomitant regulation of its own activating and inhibitory receptors and receptor antagonist may represent an important regulatory mechanism of IL1-induced physiological changes occurring in the human endometrium during the normal menstrual cycle and embryo development.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
