Brief description Implantation of an embryo into the uterus is a key step for human development. Implantation failure causes embryonic death, pregnancy loss and infertility. Conversely, preventing implantation is an attractive approach for contraception. We have established that proprotein convertase 6 (PC6) is a master regulator of implantation. We will investigate how PC6 works in a woman's uterus, and how we can use this knowledge to improve implantation in IVF and to develop PC6 drugs for new contraceptives.
