Tissue remodeling of human endometrium occurs during the menstrual cycle to prepare for embryo adhesion and invasion. The ovarian steroid hormones 17β-estradiol and progesterone control the menstrual cycle to achieve the receptive state dur…

The human endometrium is characterized by exceptional plasticity, as evidenced by rapid growth and differentiation during the menstrual cycle and fast tissue remodeling during early pregnancy. Past work has rarely addressed the role of cell…

Endometrial receptivity is a decisive factor in human reproduction. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is one of the first embryonic signals that precedes the implantation by trophoblast invasion into the endometrium. Meta-analysis of rando…

Recent data implicate an altered expression of progesterone receptor isoform A (PR-A) and B (PR-B) in the endometrium of endometriosis patients. This prospective exploratory study aimed to precisely determine the PR-A and PR-B expression us…

AIMS: The secretoglobin mammaglobin 1 (MGB1) is strongly expressed in breast tumours, and is therefore used to detect breast cancer metastases, although it has also been detected in other tissues. The aim of this study was to examine MGB1 e…

Aim of this study was to characterise the endometrium of women with endometriosis. We studied immunohistochemically the expression of the progesterone receptor isoforms A and B in eutopic endometrium and compared their expression in patient…

Periovulatorisch kommt es zu einer Muttermundsöffnung auf 1 - 2 cm und zu einer Verflüssigung des Zervixschleims. Hierfür könnte der vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), der angiogenetisch wirkt und die Gefäßpermeabilität erhöht, eine…
