NCT02713854

Brief Summary

To determine the predictive value of attachment rate of human embryonic stem cells (hESC)-derived trophoblast spheroids (BAP-EB, embryo surrogate) onto endometrial epithelial cells (EEC) on success of IVF treatment and to use the model to identify EEC surface biomarkers for endometrial receptivity.
