Successful embryo implantation in mammals requires the co-ordinated development of a blastocyst competent to implant and an adhesive endometrium. Given the indispensable role of implantation for the furtherance of the species, a number of molecular mechanisms have evolved to regulate the process. A variety of molecules, produced by embryo as well as maternal tissue participates in the cross-talk between the implanting blastocyst and the endometrium. The interplay between the various molecules and the routes in which they are involved is beginning to be elucidated. Because impaired implantation represents the most important limiting factor in the establishment of pregnancy, it is believed that research in the field will allow clinicians to improve the respective rates. This paper reviews certain groups of molecules that are considered to have key roles in the mechanisms of implantation.
