This paper reviews the potential of pluripotent stem cells from normal endometrium and endometriosis as a cellular system for modeling the complex disease, which is currently lacking in vitro models.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a complex disease and not a single phenotype can be delineated in available in vitro models. A comparative analysis of pluripotent stem cells in normal endometrium and endometriosis will give an understanding of status of biomarkers in endometrium and endometriosis, respectively. Highly pluripotent stem cells are critically important constituents of endometrium and contribute to ectopic endometriotic implants as reported in various studies. Because stem cells are undifferentiated and possess tremendous regenerative capacity, they are candidate cellular system for modeling endometriosis.
