Endometrial Expression of Steroidogenic Factor 1 Promotes Cystic Glandular Morphogenesis
Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.) ·doi:10.1210/me.2015-1215

Epigenetic silencing of steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) is lost in endometriosis, potentially contributing to de novo local steroidogenesis favoring inflammation and growth of ectopic endometrial tissue. In this study, we examine the impact of…

COUP-TFII mediates progesterone regulation of uterine implantation by controlling ER activity
PLoS genetics ·doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.0030102

Progesterone and estrogen are critical regulators of uterine receptivity. To facilitate uterine remodeling for embryo attachment, estrogen activity in the uterine epithelia is attenuated by progesterone; however, the molecular mechanism by …
