This chapter reviews animal models used to study the initiation and progression of endometriosis, with emphasis on a murine model as a tool to evaluate therapies. The authors describe how many existing models rely on transplanting endometrium into the peritoneal cavity, noting that primates spontaneously develop endometriosis but rodents are more practical; a key caveat is that rodents do not menstruate, which limits how closely their physiology matches women. Focusing on their assessment of drug evaluation, they conclude that the murine endometriosis model may be a valuable and reliable approach for assessing therapeutic strategies relevant to human endometriosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on experimental animal models, especially a murine endometriosis model for evaluating therapies.
