Abstract:In mammals, an efficient exchange of molecular signals between the embryo and the maternal environment plays a crucial role for the implantation and development of early embryos as well as for recognition and maintenance of pregnancy. So far, only a few molecular signals involved in this process have been identified. To address the underlying biochemical processes in pigs at the protein level, we performed a quantitative proteome study with endometrial tissue samples from non-pregnant and pregnant (Day 14) sow… Show more
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.
