摘要
The first direct contact between the embryo and the mother is established during implantation. This process is inaccessible for direct studies as the implanting em-bryo is concealed by the maternal tissues. Here, we present a protocol for estab-lishing a 3D biomimetic environment based on synthetic hydrogels which harbor key biomechanical properties of the uterine stroma. We describe steps for isolating and culturing embryos in PEG/DexMA hydrogel. We then detail the co-culture of embryos and endothelial cells in a microfluidic device. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Govindasamy et al. (2021)1 and Ozguldez et al. (2023).2
