Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. Here, we used in vivo and in …

Decidualization is the transformation of endometrial stromal cells into functionally specialized cells during the early stages of pregnancy. Occurring in mammals that develop invasive hemochorial placentae, decidualization is a pivotal evol…
The uterus is a complex organ that requires precise signaling networks to mediate functions necessary for homeostasis and reproductive processes. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily regulates integral signaling pathways thro…
Cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor's transcriptional output. However, the feed-forward mechanisms that shape cell-type-specific transcriptional fulcrums fo…
EPH receptors (EPHs), the largest family of tyrosine kinases, phosphorylate downstream substrates upon binding of ephrin cell surface-associated ligands. In a large cohort of endometriotic lesions from individuals with endometriosis, we fou…
Endometriosis is linked to increased infertility and pregnancy complications due to defective endometrial decidualization. We hypothesized that identification of altered signaling pathways during decidualization could identify the underlyin…
Endometriosis is a common and debilitating disease, affecting ∼170 million women worldwide. Affected patients have limited therapeutic options such as hormonal suppression or surgical excision of the lesions, though therapies are often not …

ABSTRACT It is hypothesized that impaired endometrial decidualization contributes to decreased fertility in individuals with endometriosis. To identify the molecular defects that underpin defective decidualization in endometriosis, we subje…
Decidualization is a process driven by hormones and growth factors that results in the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into decidual cells that are capable of supporting a developing embryo. The overall effect of decidualizatio…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the expression and biological roles of serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (SGK1) in tissues and cells from patients with endometriosis and from healthy control subjects. DESIGN: Case-control. SETTING: Univer…
Endometriosis is a gynecological disease defined by the extrauterine growth of endometrial-like cells that cause chronic pain and infertility. The disease is limited to primates that exhibit spontaneous decidualization, and diseased cells a…
Endometriosis has been initially described as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue on pelvic organs or in extrapelvic sites; and this has been used as its key pathologic feature ever since. Endometriosis responds to fluctuations in es…
In endometriosis, stromal and epithelial cells from the endometrium form extrauterine lesions and persist in response to estrogen (E2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Stromal cells produce excessive quantities of estrogen and PGE2 in a feed-fo…

OBJECTIVE: To define altered gene expression networks in endometriosis. DESIGN: Experiments using endometriotic tissues and primary cells. SETTING: Division of Reproductive Biology Research, Northwestern University. PATIENT(S): Premenopa…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease that affects 6–10% of women of reproductive age. It is a major cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility, and poses a heavy financial burden on society, with annual estimates t…
