[citation needed] Fuller W. Bazer is known for his contributions in the biological mystery of embryo-maternal signaling, which maintain pregnancy and survival of the embryo in livestock species.

Among his key discoveries, Fuller isolated the uterine protein uteroferrin, a hematopoietic growth factor that influences the survival of the neonate and may be useful in treating diseases, such as leukemia and osteoporosis.

The ability of interferon-t to suppress transcription of the estrogen receptor gene, provides a model for the potential treatment of estrogen-dependent tumors.
