Abstract
Trophoblast invasion into the decidualized endometrium is an important aspect of blastocyst implantation necessary for a successful pregnancy. There are many processes involving the early implantation and invasion of trophoblast cells into the maternal decidua that are not well described. Here, we describe the development of a microfluidic model of the trophoblast-endometrial interface that can be used to quantify metrics of trophoblast cell invasion, endothelial cell motility, and the influence of decidualization hormones on these processes.
