“…Extensive modifications occur in the endometrium at this time in response to the midcycle estrogen surge and embryonic factors (Nimbkar-Joshi et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013;Strug et al, 2016;Kurian and Modi, 2019;Mishra et al, 2021). In response to embryonic stimuli, the luminal epithelial cells lose their polarity, proliferate and there is an altered expression of several molecules required for embryo apposition and implantation (Nimbkar-Joshi et al, 2012;Modi and Bhartiya, 2015;Ashary et al, 2018;Laheri et al, 2018;Ochoa-Bernal and Fazleabas, 2020). Controversies exist on the pattern of E-Cad expression in the endometrial epithelium at the time of embryo implantation.…”
