Adjunct Faculty Frank F. Bartol Adjunct Professor (Department of Animal Sciences) The capicity of the uterine endometrium to integrate conceptus and maternal signals as necessary to ensure that an embryotrophic environment is established and maintained dictates patterns of embryo survival and growth. Limits of uterine capacity may be defined genetically. However, the extent to which functional uterine capacity approaches genetic potential reflects the success of developmental events associated with uterine organogenesis. Research in this laboratory focuses on identification of mechanisms regulating morphogenesis and cytodifferentiation of uterine tissues in domestic ungulates. Current efforts are aimed at delineation of the roles of specific steroid and peptide hormone signal transduction systems and primary morphoregulatory genes in endometrial patterning during critical periods for uterine organization in the neonate.
