1. Endometrial Receptivity —Carlos Simon, MD, PhD

Endometrial receptivity refers to a hormone-limited period in which the endometrial tissue acquires a functional and transient ovarian steroid-dependent status allowing blastocyst adhesion. Functional genomic studies of human endometrium in natural cycles have demonstrated that endometrial receptivity is an active process involving up- and down-regulation of hundreds of genes.

    endometrial factor.
3. Discuss a new therapeutic option in IF: personalized Embryo Transfer (pET).
