Schematic of the utility of the in vitro implantation model of GFP-BLS, epithelial and stromal cells. A) Model of Receptive Epithelium: GFP-BLS are able to interact with epithelial cells forming a trophoblast-epithelial synapsis. B) Model of non-receptive epithelium: GFP-BLS are observed floating in the media and do not interact with the epithelium. C) Model of trophoblast invasion in the stoma: GFP-BLS migrate through the stroma cells establishing a layer of trophoblast cells.
