Pathogenesis of endometriosis — Current research

Human fertility (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1080/1464770312331368973

Proliferative, secretory and menstrual endometrial cells of both the stroma and epithelium adhere to intact peritoneal mesothelium and mesothelial monolayers. Endometrial attachment to the mesothelium appears to occur rapidly (within 1 h) a…

Culture of menstrual endometrium with peritoneal explants and mesothelial monolayers confirms attachment to intact mesothelial cells

·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.11.2832

BACKGROUND: To evaluate adhesion of menstrual endometrium (ME) to intact peritoneal mesothelium. METHODS: Explants of peritoneum were cultured for 1 h with ME (n = 6). Specimens were serially sectioned for haematoxylin and eosin stain and i…
