Progesterone Alleviates Endometriosis via Inhibition of Uterine Cell Proliferation, Inflammation and Angiogenesis in an Immunocompetent Mouse Model
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0165347

Endometriosis, defined as growth of the endometrial cells outside the uterus, is an inflammatory disorder that is associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of childbearing age. Although the estrogen-dependence of endometr…

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Functions via a Conserved Signaling Pathway Involving Wnt4 to Regulate Uterine Decidualization in the Mouse and the Human
·doi:10.1074/jbc.m704723200

A critical role of progesterone (P) during early pregnancy is to induce differentiation of the endometrial stromal cells into specialized decidual cells that support the development of the implanting embryo. The P-induced signaling pathways…
