title: [Endometrial decidualization as a factor that regulates cytothrophoblastic invasion during the first trimester of pregnancy].
abstract: Endometrial stromal cell decidualization is a multistage process that starts with the late secretory phase of a menstrual cycle and then continues in the first months of pregnancy. Under the influence of the hormone progesterone, precursor cells undergo a unique structural and functional transformation from the adventitional cells of spiral arteries containing a marker of smooth muscles (desmin) through pre-decidual cells to the decidual intermediate cells expressing a marker of the extraembryonic mesoderm (vimentin), and IGFBR-1 and then to the typical epithelioid decidual cells.
