The endometrium is a highly dynamic and complex tissue lining the uterus, playing a central role in reproductive health. Despite its importance, the pathogenesis of many benign endometrial disorders remains …
Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Three-dimensional (3D) organoid and co-culture models have emerged as transformative tools for studying human endometrial function, implantation, and placental development, overcoming key limitations of animal and two-dimensional in vitro systems. …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects ∼10% of women during reproductive age. It is characterised by ectopic (ECT) growth of endometrial-like tissue mainly in the pelvic cavity. …
Peritoneal endometriosis causes pelvic pain and infertility, but the underlying mechanisms related to these symptoms are not fully understood. Endometriosis diagnosis is typically delayed; thus, patient samples are unsuitable to …
The ascent of novel alternative methods (NAMs) in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need …
Endometrial disorders, such as infertility and endometriosis, significantly impact reproductive health, thus necessitating better models to study endometrial function. Current in vitro models fail to replicate the complexity of the …
