Decreased Inner Cell Mass Proportion in Blastocysts From Diabetic Rats
TL;DR: The results suggest that the differential sensitivity of ICM and TE cells in preimplantation blastocysts may contribute to the pattern of postim implantation defects described in diabetic pregnancies.

Increased cell death in rat blastocysts exposed to maternal diabetes in utero and to high glucose or tumor necrosis factor-alpha in vitro
TL;DR: The data suggest that excessive cell death in the blastocyst, most probably resulting from the overstimulation of a basal suicidal program by such inducers as glucose and TNF-alpha, may be a contributing factor of the early embryopathy associated with maternal diabetes.

The human blastocyst regulates endometrial epithelial apoptosis in embryonic adhesion.

TL;DR: A co-ordinated embryonic regulation of hEEC apoptosis is reported, which suggests the Fas/Fas-L death system may be an important mechanism to cross the epithelial barrier, which is crucial for embryonic adhesion, and the manipulation of this system could have potential clinical implications as an interceptive mechanism.
Apoptosis at the time of embryo implantation in mouse and rat
S. Pampfer,Isabelle Donnay +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the information currently available regarding the occurrence of apoptosis in the developing embryo and in the receptive uterus during the peri-implantation period of gestation.
Inhibin and activin production and subunit expression in human placental cells cultured in vitro
TL;DR: This study showed that mRNA expression parallels protein synthesis of inhibin and activin in trophoblast cells, and appears to be dependent on alpha subunit mRNA expression, rather than on the betaA subunit which controls activin A synthesis.
