“…(Received 18th July 1974) Hysterectomy is known to increase the life-span of the CL in several mammalian species (Dobrowolski & Hafez, 1971;Anderson, 1973) and the involvement of prostaglandins has been suggested (Pharriss, 1970;McCracken, Baird & Goding, 1971). Total hysterectomy in the rabbit extends the life of the CL (Asdell & Hammond, 1933) and exogenous prostaglandins cause luteolysis (Duncan & Pharriss, 1970).…”

“…Endometrial receptivity refers to the ability of the endometrium to facilitate normal implantation, and optimal receptivity is crucial for successful implantation processes that establish a healthy pregnancy [66][67][68]. During the mid-secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, the human endometrium undergoes a brief period of receptivity characterized by its ability to provide an immune-privileged and nutritive environment for the embryo, which is called WOI [69,70]. EVs can be isolated from endometrial cells and have been shown to exist in uterine fluid [20,46,64,71,72].…”

Endometrial receptivity has been widely understood as the capacity of the endometrium to receive implantable embryos. The establishment of endometrial receptivity involves multiple biological processes including decidualization, tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, immune regulation, and oxidative metabolism. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bilayer-membrane nanosized vesicles mediating cell-to-cell communication. Recently, EVs and their cargo have been proven as functional factors in the establishment of endometrial receptivity. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the alteration of endometrium/embryo-derived EVs during the receptive phase and retrospected the current findings which revealed the pivotal role and potential mechanism of EVs to promote successful implantation. Furthermore, we highlight the potentiality and limitations of EVs being translated into clinical applications such as biomarkers of endometrial receptivity or reproductive therapeutic mediators, and point out the direction for further research.

“…The bovine blastocyst develops initially in one uterine horn and must influence the uterus during early pregnancy to abolish the luteolytic action (Dobrowolski & Hafez, 1971), possibly by modifying the uptake of steroids. Samples from the two uterine horns were therefore analysed separately for each animal.…”
