Protease secretions by the invading blastocyst induce calcium oscillations in endometrial epithelial cells via the protease-activated receptor 2
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-023-01085-7

BACKGROUND: Early embryo implantation is a complex phenomenon characterized by the presence of an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive endometrium. Embryo development and endometrial receptivity must be synchronized and an adeq…

Modeling Endometrium Biology and Disease
Journal of personalized medicine ·doi:10.3390/jpm12071048

The endometrium, lining the uterine lumen, is highly essential for human reproduction. Its exceptional remodeling plasticity, including the transformation process to welcome and nest the embryo, is not well understood. Lack of representativ…

The ellagic acid metabolites urolithin A and B differentially affect growth, adhesion, motility, and invasion of endometriotic cells in vitro
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab053

Abstract STUDY QUESTION What are the effects of plant-derived antioxidant compounds urolithin A (UA) and B (UB) on the growth and pathogenetic properties of an in vitro endometriosis model? SUMMARY ANSWER Both urolithins showed inhibitory e…

Patient-derived organoids from endometrial disease capture clinical heterogeneity and are amenable to drug screening
Nature cell biology ·doi:10.1038/s41556-019-0360-z

Endometrial disorders represent a major gynaecological burden. Current research models fail to recapitulate the nature and heterogeneity of these diseases, thereby hampering scientific and clinical progress. Here we developed long-term expa…
