Xenografted tissue models for the study of human endometrial biology.
Differentiation; research in biological diversity ·doi:10.1016/j.diff.2017.11.004

The human endometrium undergoes extensive morphological, biochemical and molecular changes under the influence of female sex steroid hormones. Besides the fact that estrogen stimulates endometrial cell proliferation and progesterone inhibit…

Activation of protein synthesis in mouse uterine epithelial cells by estradiol-17β is mediated by a PKC–ERK1/2–mTOR signaling pathway
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America ·doi:10.1073/pnas.1418973112

The uterine epithelium of mice and humans undergoes cyclical waves of cell proliferation and differentiation under the regulation of estradiol-17β (E2) and progesterone (P4). These epithelial cells respond to E2 with increased protein and D…

Genomic profiling of microRNAs and messenger RNAs reveals hormonal regulation in microRNA expression in human endometrium.
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.109.081059

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression, have fundamental roles in biological processes, including cell differentiation and proliferation. These small molecules mainly direct either target messenger…
