Msx homeobox genes critically regulate embryo implantation by controlling paracrine signaling between uterine stroma and epithelium.
The mammalian Msx homeobox genes, Msx1 and Msx2, encode transcription factors that control organogenesis and tissue interactions during embryonic development. We observed overlapping expression of these factors in uterine epithelial and stromal compartments of pregnant mice prior to embryo implantat...
