Article Synopsis
- The emergence of embryo implantation in mammals around 148 million years ago marked a significant change in reproductive strategies, but the molecular mechanisms behind this adaptation are still not fully understood.
- Progesterone receptor signaling, crucial for mammal pregnancies, predates mammals but does not account for the diverse implantation methods seen in different species.
- The study identifies 13 key microRNA gene families that originated with placental mammals, suggesting a dynamic miRNA network that responds to pregnancy signals and plays a crucial role in the distinct implantation strategies across various species like bovines and humans.
