Methods of culturing cells of the endometrium and focus of endometriosis were developed. A culture of normal endometrial cells was shown to consist of epithelioid cells, whereas the culture of cells from the focus of endometriosis more frequently had a mixed cell population. Investigation of cultures from a focus of internal endometriosis before and after treatment with infecudin showed no clear difference in cell growth and morphology. Cells from tissue affected by endometriosis showed low mitotic activity and this made the study of the karyotype difficult. The data described are the first relating to culture of cells from a focus of endometriosis.\nAccess this article\nWe’re sorry, something doesn't seem to be working properly.\nPlease try refreshing the page.
