Immunoprofiling of human uterine mast cells identifies three phenotypes and expression of ERβ and glucocorticoid receptor
F1000Research ·doi:10.12688/f1000research.11432.2

Background: Human mast cells (MCs) are long-lived tissue-resident immune cells characterised by granules containing the proteases chymase and/or tryptase. Their phenotype is modulated by their tissue microenvironment. The human uterus has a…

A Role for Androgens in Epithelial Proliferation and Formation of Glands in the Mouse Uterus
Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/en.2015-2032

The endometrium consists of stromal and epithelial compartments (luminal and glandular) with distinct functions in the regulation of uterine homeostasis. Ovarian sex steroids, namely 17β-estradiol and progesterone, play essential roles in m…

A novel mouse model of endometriosis mimics human phenotype and reveals insights into the inflammatory contribution of shed endometrium
The American Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajpath.2014.03.011

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Patients experience chronic pelvic pain and infertility, with the most likely origin of the tissue …

Estrogen receptor (ER) agonists differentially regulate neuroangiogenesis in peritoneal endometriosis via the repellent factor SLIT3
Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/en.2014-1086

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent neurovascular disorder characterized by growth of endometrial tissue (lesions) outside the uterine cavity. Patients suffer chronic pelvic pain, and it has been proposed that co-recruitment of nerves/bl…
