Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrium outside of uterine cavity and thought to develop through reverse menstruation of endometrial tissue into the peritoneal cavity. Endometrial cell implantation into peritoneal cavity is …
BACKGROUND: Uterine serous papillary adenocarcinoma (USPC) is a highly aggressive variant of endometrial cancer. Human immuno-conjugate molecule (hI-con1) is an antibody-like molecule targeted against tissue factor (TF), composed of two hum…
The abortifacient and menstrual effects of the potent antiprogestin, RU 486 (mifepriston) are associated with both endometrial hemorrhage and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Such processes reflect reduced perivascular decidual cell …
Perivascular decidualized human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) are ideally positioned to prevent peri-implantational hemorrhage during endovascular trophoblast invasion by expressing tissue factor (TF), the primary cellular mediator of h…
Progesterone stimulation of the estradiol (E2)-primed human endometrium initiates DZ of the stromal cells around the spiral arterioles. Under continued steroid stimulation, DZ spreads wave-like to establish the decidual cell as a major cell…
