Abstract Embryo implantation and decidualization are crucial for a successful pregnancy. How the inflammatory response is regulated during these processes undefined. Pyroptosis an form of cell death mediated by gasdermin D (GSDMD). Through in vivo, cultured epithelial cells organoids, it shown that pyroptosis occurs at site. Compared with those on day 4 pseudopregnancy delayed implantation, pyroptosis‐related protein levels significantly increased pregnancy activated suggesting blastocysts...

Thyroid dysfunction during human pregnancy is closely related to serious outcome. However, the regulation and function of thyroid hormones early are largely unknown. We found that type II deiodinase, an enzyme converting T4 activated T3, highly expressed in mouse uterus on days 3 4 pregnancy. Once embryo implants into receptive uterus, III deiodinase (Dio3), a mainly paternally imprinted gene for inactivating significantly induced stromal cells accompanied by DNA hypermethylation intergenic...
