review 2002
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2002.tb02787.x

The endometrium undergoes characteristic histologic changes during the menstrual cycle as it prepares for embryo implantation. Historic and current data suggest the presence of a defined period of maximal uterine receptivity during the mid-…

Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep.0.1210761

A rapid, sensitive enzymeimmunoassay for the measurement of LH concentrations in serum and peritoneal fluid samples of healthy women and women with endometriosis is reported. The ligand (LH) was captured by a readily available, widely used …

Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/5.9.866

HOXA-10 is a member of a family of genes that serve as transcription factors during development and have been shown to be important for uterine function. Using immunohistochemistry and RNAse protection assays (RPA), HOXA-10 was shown to be …

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the ovary and peritoneum. The aetiology of endometriosis is not understood, although the adhesion of endometrial ce…

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.suppl_3.247

Our understanding of the factors responsible for the initial interaction between maternal and embryonic epithelium leading to successful implantation remains incomplete. Temporal and spatial expression of specific endometrial peptides may c…

Seminars in reproductive endocrinology ·doi:10.1055/s-2008-1068759

Endometriosis is a disease that affects about 5% of women of reproductive age, but is found much more frequently in those with pelvic pain and/or infertility. In affected individuals, shed endometrium is thought to attach and spread within …

article 1994
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.79.2.7519194

Integrins are ubiquitous cell adhesion molecules that undergo dynamic alterations during the normal menstrual cycle in the human endometrium. The alpha v beta 3 vitronectin receptor integrin is expressed in endometrium at the time of implan…

Microscopy research and technique ·doi:10.1002/jemt.1070250304

The factors responsible for the initial interaction between maternal and fetal epithelium leading to the establishment of pregnancy remain poorly understood. Temporal and spatial expression of specific endometrial peptides in response to ov…
