Human endometrium is the major target tissue for sex steroid hormones. The circulating steroid hormones in normal ovulatory cycles accurately control the proliferation and differentiation of the endometrial cells. Androgens, such as testost…

Endometriosis is hypothesized to result from retrograde menstruation where cell debris including endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) travel through the fallopian tubes. This chronic inflammatory disease is characterized by inflammatory and fib…

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of inflamed and fibrotic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. We have previously found that serpin A1 (SERPINA1) was decreased in the endometriosis-like lesion of the mouse model, whi…

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of inflamed and fibrotic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Previously, we found decreased SERPINA1 (alpha-1 antitrypsin) expression in endometriosis-like lesions in a mouse model o…

Abstract Aim Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. A previous study reported that micro RNA (miR)‐542‐3p plays a critical role in eutopic endometrial decidualizati…

Menstruation, or cyclic shedding of nonpregnant endometrial tissue with associated bleeding, occurs only in humans and a few other species. This breakdown of the endometrium in response to falling ovarian progesterone levels is a complex pr…
