Mumbai-based researchers have discovered how the embryo signals the endometrium to express the OVGP1 protein for a brief period at the time of implantation. They found that the OVGP1 protein is required for balancing the expression of a few genes required for embryo implantation. This work in long term might have implications in management of … Continue reading Podcast: Role of OVGP1 protein in embryo implantation

IIT Kanpur researchers find why babies need to move in the womb
IIT Kanpur researchers have found how permanent cartilage is formed in an embryo due to mechanical movement. The permanent cartilage gets lost and transient cartilage forms in its place in the absence of movement. In the developing embryos, the joints do not form at all if movement is restricted. Studies are on to find out if it … Continue reading IIT Kanpur researchers find why babies need to move in the womb
Mumbai researchers discover how embryos implant in the womb
The insight can be used for improving the success rate of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and developing contraceptives. Researchers at ICMR’s National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health (NIRRH) in Mumbai have finally shed light on one of the most important steps in pregnancy — the ability of the embryo to implant itself in the … Continue reading Mumbai researchers discover how embryos implant in the womb
