High-quality human preimplantation embryos stimulate endometrial stromal cell migration via secretion of microRNA hsa-miR-320a

Robbert P. Berkhout, Remco Keijser, Sjoerd Repping…·Geert Hamer

The paper shows high-quality human embryos secrete miR-320a, which promotes endometrial stromal cell migration, suggesting miR-320a could improve IVF success.
