Seminal fluid effects on uterine receptivity to embryo implantation: transcriptomic strategies to define molecular mechanisms Embryo implantation requires both a developmentally competent embryo and a receptive uterus. Impaired uterine receptivity is a common constraint on implantation success and reproductive outcome. Ovari...

Maternal aging reduces female fecundity and alters offspring phenotype in a sex-specific manner Context The age of childbearing in women has increased, with more babies born to women over 30years old than to those in their 20s. However, increasing maternal age is associated with a range of pregn...
