Book Description
This book explains and reviews some of the significant events involved in human implantation and the establishment of the placenta in the uterus. This critical phase in human reproduction has proved to be an elusive and challenging area of research, not least because of the immunological and genetic interactions between the mother and fetus. The volume focuses on the most recent advances in our understanding of the basic mechanisms involved, with a particular emphasis on cell biology and immunology. This lucid volume will benefit all those studying and undertaking research in reproductive biology and immunology, perinatal pathology, fetal medicine and obstetrics.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“…a good reference for scientists working on implantation, and for clinicians who are involved in research related to in vitro fertilization, habitual abortions, and to a limited extent, intrauterine growth retardation and toxemia.” Togas Tulandi, Annals RCPSC
