Assessment of endometrial receptivity by biomarkers

Abstract

Endometrial receptivity defect can lead to a recurrent failures in ART. Data on endometrial receptivity assessment by the most studied biomarkers, such as pinopodes, leukemia-inhibitory factor, αVβ3 integrin, mucin MUC 1, are presented. Analysis of controlled ovarian stimulation protocols influence on endometrial receptivity is composed.
