Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key enzymes involved in extracellular matrix remodelling. In the human endometrium, the expression and activity of several MMPs are maximal during the menstrual phase. Moreover, MMPs are thought to be in…

During the reproductive life, the human endometrium undergoes cycles of substantial remodeling including, at menstruation, a massive but delimited tissue breakdown immediately followed by scarless repair. The present review aims at summariz…

Coupling of focal degradation and renewal of the functional layer of menstrual endometrium is a key event of the female reproductive biology. The precise mechanisms by which the various endometrial cell populations control extracellular mat…
