摘要

Embryo implantation is a critical step at the beginning of pregnancy, occurring during a specific and limited period known as the “implantation window”. Successful implantation involves various signaling pathways and molecular interactions. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating these complex interactions. Different cell types release EVs to transfer signals to other cells or tissues. Additionally, emerging evidence suggests that EVs regulate signaling between the developing embryo and endometrium. In this review, we summarize current findings that highlight the role of EVs in the reproductive tract, gamete production, and their potential roles in embryo development and implantation. We then examine studies emphasizing the role of EVs in embryo-maternal interactions and implantation. Finally, we will explore the theranostic potential of EVs in various aspects of assisted reproductive technology (ART), including modulation of embryo-maternal interactions, enhancement of embryo quality, and improvement of endometrial receptivity. A more comprehensive understanding of EVs in the pathology of recurrent implantation failure could support the development of personalized treatments.
