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.

This paper argues that current in vitro models of endometriosis are insufficient because they fail to capture the disease's complex, heterogeneous phenotypes. The authors propose using highly pluripotent stem cells as a candidate cellular system for modeling endometriosis, noting their critical role in both normal endometrial regeneration and the formation of ectopic implants. They suggest that comparative analyses of these stem cells in healthy versus diseased tissue could provide deeper insights into relevant biomarkers. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically advocating for a new stem-cell based experimental model to better understand its pathophysiology.

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.
