“…Initially relating to rodents, Enders and Sclafke (Enders and Schlafke, '67; Enders and Schlafke, '69) described three stages of implantation that can be applied to mammals in general. Although implantation in all mammals involves the first two stages, apposition and adhesion, only those having invasive conceptuses exhibit the third stage, invasion and embedding to varying degrees (Carson and others, '00; Wooding, '02). Thus, implantation varies from relatively non-invasive to invasive resulting in the formation of epitheliochorial (e.g.…”

A critical period in establishing pregnancy occurs after the onset of implantation but before placental development. Evidence strongly suggests that abnormalities occurring during this period can result in pregnancy termination or in pre-eclampsia; the latter may lead to small-for-gestational-weight offspring that are likely to be unhealthy. Clearly, events occurring in the endometrium during the implantation process are crucial for proper fetal development and for optimal offspring health. In several mammalian species bi-directional communication between the conceptus and endometrium during implantation is required for successful pregnancy. Although different implantation and placentation modes occur in different mammalian species, common aspects of this bi-directional signaling may exist. The molecular signals from the trophoblast cells of the conceptus, which direct endometrial changes during implantation progression, are well known in some non-rodent species. Currently, we know little about such signaling in rodents during implantation progression, when the endometrium undergoes decidualization. This review focuses on data that support the hypothesis that paracrine signals from the rodent conceptus influence decidualization. Where possible, these findings are compared and contrasted to information currently known in other species that exhibit different implantation modes.
