Induction of post-menstrual regeneration by ovarian steroid withdrawal in the functionalis of xenografted human endometrium
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dev043

STUDY QUESTION: Does the endometrial functionalis have the potential to undergo self-renewal after menstruation and how is this process controlled by ovarian steroids? SUMMARY ANSWER: Endometrial xenografts subjected to withdrawal of estra…

Matrix metalloproteinase-27 is expressed in CD163+/CD206+ M2 macrophages in the cycling human endometrium and in superficial endometriotic lesions
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gau034

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key enzymes involved in extracellular matrix remodelling. In the human endometrium, the expression and activity of several MMPs are maximal during the menstrual phase. Moreover, MMPs are thought to be in…

Binding of matrilysin-1 to human epithelial cells promotes its activity.
Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS ·doi:10.1007/s00018-007-6415-5

Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7, matrilysin- 1) modulates crucial biological events by processing many epithelial cell surface-associated effectors. We addressed MMP-7 interaction with human epithelial cells and its resulting activity. In…

Circulating Ovarian Steroids and Endometrial Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2002.tb02773.x

Recent studies strongly suggest that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in the initiation of menstrual bleeding in the human endometrium upon the fall of ovarian steroid serum concentrations by inducing the degradation of the …

article 1997
Expression of interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1) is related to the activity of human endometriotic lesions
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)81510-5

ObjectiveTo determine whether interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1), known to play a pivotal role in the initiation of menstruation, contributes to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.DesignSerial sections of peritoneal red an…
