Uterine Msx-1 and Wnt4 Signaling Becomes Aberrant in Mice with the Loss of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor or Hoxa-10: Evidence for a Novel Cytokine-Homeobox-Wnt Signaling in Implantation

Successful implantation absolutely depends on the reciprocal interaction between the implantation-competent blastocyst and the receptive uterus. Expression and gene targeting studies have shown that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a cytokine of the IL-6 family, and Hoxa-10, an abdominalB-like home...
