| Embryo implantation involves an intricate communication between the embryo and uterus. Failure at any critical stages leads to early pregnancy loss. It is also a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Periimplantation events include early embryo development, the crosstalk between the embryo and uterus and the development of the deciduum and placenta. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms concerning periimplantation biology will not only improve our general cognition of life sciences, but also help in developing clinical strategies to combat reproductive disorders. With the economic development in China, the Chinese government has been paying more and more attention to the research concerning human health. The State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Biology (SKLRB) is the only national center for basic research in reproductive biology in China. By serving as the Chinese Center for WHO/Rockefeller Foundation Initiative on Implantation from 1999 to 2004, SKLRB has been a pioneer in China in promoting basic research, national and international collaborations, as well as pre- and post-doctoral training in the field of reproductive biology, with an aim to improving nationally and globally human health. This symposia entitled ¡°SKLRB Symposia on Frontiers in Periimplantation Biology¡± sponsored by SKLRB is aimed at bringing in distinguished scientists in the field to exchange and discuss cutting edge basic and translational investigations pertaining to periimplantation biology in various model systems. The meeting is intended to provide a forum for extensive exchange and sharing of new information and development in the area, and to develop better communication among scientists across the world. |
