Enhanced proapoptotic gene expression of XAF1, CASP8 and TNFSF10 in the bovine endometrium during early pregnancy is not correlated with augmented apoptosis.

TLDR
Although the bovine conceptus induces the expression of proapoptotic genes, neither an activation of a caspase cascade nor an increase of apoptotic cells was noticed and these results suggest inhibitory mechanisms preventing endometrial cells from programmed cell death.
