Uterine large granular lymphocytes: a possible role in embryonic implantation?
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
|February 1, 1990
Abstract:
Leukocytes in endometrium and decidua are phenotypically and morphologically similar to granulated lymphocytes at other mucosal surfaces. Although their exact functions are not known, we suggest they may have a role in the control of implantation and the transformation of the uterine vasculature by trophoblast on which the blood supply to the fetoplacental unit depends.

01:15Transcytosis of IgG
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

01:27Ovarian Cycle
The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle length...
