How Do Cellular Interactions Facilitate Implantation?
Cellular interactions are fundamental to the implantation process.
- Trophoblast Cells: The outer layer of the blastocyst, known as trophoblasts, differentiates into cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts. These cells play a critical role in invading the endometrium and establishing the placenta. - Integrins and Cadherins: These are cell adhesion molecules that mediate the attachment of the blastocyst to the endometrial epithelium.
