Adhesion of menstrual endometrium to extracellular matrix: the possible role of integrin alpha(6)beta(1) and laminin interaction

Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/6.2.170

Previous in-vitro studies have shown that the endometrium preferentially adheres to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the amnion and peritoneum. This interaction probably involves adhesion molecules, e.g. integrins. We evaluated the express…

Adhesion of human endometrial fragments to peritoneum in vitro

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(99)00122-3

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the adhesion of endometrial fragments obtained during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle to fresh human peritoneum obtained during abdominal surgery. DESIGN: A prospective, descriptive, morphologic and ce…

Adhesion of shed menstrual tissue in an in-vitro model using amnion and peritoneum: a light and electron microscopic study

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/14.3.816

We have investigated the adhesion of endometrial tissue isolated from antegradely shed menstrual effluent to amnion and peritoneum. This endometrial tissue was cultured overnight on either side of intact and stripped amnion and on the mesot…

Adhesion of human endometrium to the epithelial lining and extracellular matrix of amnion in vitro: an electron microscopic study

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.8.2275

One of the first steps in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is the attachment of the endometrium to the peritoneal lining. Since the peritoneum is extremely fragile and hard to obtain, amnion has been used as an in-vitro model to study adhe…

Evaluation of a menstrual cup to collect shed endometrium for in vitro studies

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)00250-1

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a menstrual cup is a suitable instrument to collect antegradely shed endometrium for in vitro studies. DESIGN: A prospective, descriptive, cell biological and immunohistochemical study. SETTING: Tertiary car…

Endometrial electrosurgical resection by hysteroscopy in 32 menorrhagic patients: endometrial preparation with a GnRH agonist may have some effect on results

Journal of Gynecologic Surgery ·doi:10.1089/gyn.1995.11.65

Our objective was to evaluate the effect of endometrial thinning by GnRH agonists on the results of hysteroscopic endometrial electrosurgical resection. In a prospective study, 32 women were treated with the GnRH agonist goserelin (Zoladex)…
