hCG activates Epac-Erk1/2 signaling regulating Progesterone Receptor expression and function in human endometrial stromal cells
·doi:10.1093/molehr/gax015

STUDY QUESTION: How does hCG signal in human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and what is its role in regulating ESC function? SUMMARY ANSWER: hCG signaling in ESCs activates the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (Erk1/…

The endometria of women with endometriosis exhibit dysfunctional expression of complement regulatory proteins during the mid secretory phase
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2017.10.046

The control of complement activation within embryo-endometrium environment is critical for embryo survival. Cell evasion from complement attack requires interaction of complement regulatory proteins (CRPs) with cell adhesion αvβ3 integrin. …
