Adhesion molecules in endometrial epithelium: tissue integrity and embryo implantation
J Anat.
2009 Jul.
Abstract
Cell adhesion in endometrial epithelium is regulated to maintain the continuity and protectiveness of the luminal covering cell layer while permitting interstitial implantation of the embryo during a restricted period of about 4 days. Many apparently normal embryos fail to implant, and epithelial-embryo adhesion remains a poorly understood phenomenon. After menstruation, epithelial regeneration occurs by epiboly from the basal residues of glands, an activity that requires migration on extracellular matrix as well as cell-cell cohesion. Here we review current knowledge of adhesion molecules in the epithelium.
