Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediated embryo-endometrial cross talk for embryo implantation. EVs are produced by a variety of cell types from the embryo and endometrium. They carry specific cargoes and are internalized by the target tissues. They can have autocrine and paracrine effects. The embryo and endometrial EVs seem to aid in trophoblast adhesion and migration to promote implantation. In addition, the stromal EVs might control proliferation and angiogenesis
