BACKGROUND The existence of stem/progenitor cells in the endometrium was postulated
many years ago, but the first functional evidence was only published in 2004. The …

Decidualization denotes the transformation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts into
specialized secretory decidual cells that provide a nutritive and immunoprivileged matrix …

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is recognized as a steroid-dependent disorder; however, the
precise roles of nuclear receptors (NRs) in steroid responsiveness and other signaling …

The uterine lining (endometrium) regenerates repeatedly over the life span as part of its
normal physiology. Substantial portions of the endometrium are shed during childbirth …

STUDY QUESTION Could cell therapy using autologous peripheral blood CD133+ bone
marrow-derived stem cells (BMDSCs) offer a safe and efficient therapeutic approach for …

Intrauterine adhesion refers to endometrial repair disorders which are usually caused by
uterine injury and may lead to a series of complications such as abnormal menstrual …

Uniquely among adult tissues, the human endometrium undergoes cyclical shedding, scar-
free repair and regeneration during a woman's reproductive life. Therefore, it presents an …

Asherman's Syndrome is characterized by intrauterine adhesions or fibrosis resulting as a
consequence of damage to the basal layer of endometrium and is associated with infertility …

The functional layer of the human endometrium is a highly regenerative tissue undergoing
monthly cycles of growth, differentiation and shedding during a woman's reproductive years …

Adult stem cells have been identified in the highly regenerative human endometrium on the
basis of their functional attributes. They can reconstruct endometrial tissue in vivo …
