Global gene analysis of late secretory phase, eutopic endometrium does not provide the basis for a minimally invasive test of endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den078

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis occurs in 10% of women and is currently diagnosed by invasive laparoscopic testing. We tested the hypothesis that endometrial gene expression in late secretory phase endometrium differs between patients with and wi…

Mifepristone induced progesterone withdrawal reveals novel regulatory pathways in human endometrium
·doi:10.1093/molehr/gam021

In women, a single dose of the antiprogestin mifepristone (RU486) in the secretory phase rapidly renders the endometrium unreceptive and is followed by endometrial breakdown and menstruation within 72 h. This model provides a system to iden…

Large-scale gene expression studies of the endometrium: what have we learnt?
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep.1.00355

The endometrium is a dynamic tissue that undergoes coordinated changes under the influence of steroid hormones. This results in proliferation and differentiation culminating in a receptive state, followed by menstruation and endometrial rep…
