Identification of the cadherin subtypes present in the human peritoneum and endometriotic lesions: Potential role for P‐cadherin in the development of endometriosis
Molecular reproduction and development ·doi:10.1002/mrd.10121

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. The pathogenesis of this common disease remains poorly understood. However, the implantation and invasion of the viable cells from retrograde menstruation into th…

article 1999
Cadherin-11 is a hormonally regulated cellular marker of decidualization in human endometrial stromal cells
·doi:10.1002/(sici)1098-2795(199902)52:2<158::aid-mrd6>3.0.co;2-3

Cultured human endometrial stromal cells respond to the gonadal steroids, progesterone and 17beta-estradiol, with morphological and biochemical changes that are characteristic of decidualization in vivo. To date, the cellular mechanisms inv…

article 1998
Regulated expression of cadherin-6 and cadherin-11 in the glandular epithelial and stromal cells of the human endometrium
·doi:10.1002/(sici)1097-0177(199803)211:3<238::aid-aja5>3.0.co;2-i

The cadherins are key morphoregulators. A switch in the cadherin subtype(s) expressed by a population of cells has been associated with the differentiation and formation of tissues during embryonic development. To date, the role(s) of the c…
