Xenografted tissue models for the study of human endometrial biology
Differentiation; research in biological diversity ·doi:10.1016/j.diff.2017.11.004

The human endometrium undergoes extensive morphological, biochemical and molecular changes under the influence of female sex steroid hormones. Besides the fact that estrogen stimulates endometrial cell proliferation and progesterone inhibit…

Activation of protein synthesis in mouse uterine epithelial cells by estradiol-17β is mediated by a PKC-ERK1/2-mTOR signaling pathway
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America ·doi:10.1073/pnas.1418973112

The uterine epithelium of mice and humans undergoes cyclical waves of cell proliferation and differentiation under the regulation of estradiol-17β (E2) and progesterone (P4). These epithelial cells respond to E2 with increased protein and D…

Lithium chloride treatment induces epithelial cell proliferation in xenografted human endometrium
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dep115

BACKGROUND: In mouse endometrium, glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK3beta) is a key enzyme controlling nuclear localization of cyclin D1. We developed a functional model of xenografted human endometrium to test whether similar mechanisms a…
