Adhesion of menstrual endometrium to extracellular matrix: the possible role of integrin alpha(6)beta(1) and laminin interaction
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/6.2.170

Previous in-vitro studies have shown that the endometrium preferentially adheres to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the amnion and peritoneum. This interaction probably involves adhesion molecules, e.g. integrins. We evaluated the express…

Adhesion of human endometrium to the epithelial lining and extracellular matrix of amnion in vitro: an electron microscopic study
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.8.2275

One of the first steps in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is the attachment of the endometrium to the peritoneal lining. Since the peritoneum is extremely fragile and hard to obtain, amnion has been used as an in-vitro model to study adhe…
