Abstract

The paper analyzes the history of the emergence and evolution of the concept «endometrial receptivity». The term «receptivity» is defined. The key biological (genetic, molecular, cellular, and tissue) regulations and their respective markers of the receptivity are considered. The role of different pathological processes that are able to affect endometrial receptivity is discussed.
