Menstrual endometrial cells from women with endometriosis demonstrate increased adherence to peritoneal cells and increased expression of CD44 splice variants
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.12.012

OBJECTIVE: We previously demonstrated that adherence of endometrial epithelial (EECs) and stromal cells (ESCs) to peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) is partly regulated by ESC/EEC CD44 interactions with PMC associated hyaluronan. CD44, a t…

Reviews: in vitro models to study the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719109338221

Several in vitro models that attempt to replicate the intraperitoneal environment have been developed to study the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The chicken chorioallantotic membrane has been used, but it has not been well characterized an…
