Gene expression profiling of uterine stromal cells isolated from Hand2 floxed and Hand2 ablated mice on day 4 of pregnancy

Our previous study revealed that the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Hand2 is a downstream target of progesterone signaling in mouse uterine stroma at the time of implantation. Further, conditional deletion of Hand2 in mouse uterus leads to implantation failure due to impaired uterine epithelial receptivity.
