Cellular and molecular regulation of the primate endometrium: a perspective

نویسنده

  • William C Okulicz
چکیده

This contribution will trace some of the many seminal studies on the female uterus (endometrium) over the centuries and conclude with a description of some current research initiatives in our laboratory. Numerous contributions from many investigators over the years have contributed to our current understanding of endometrial function. The historical section of this chapter is intended to be a brief overall description of some of these efforts and not exhaustive. Additional information can be found in the review articles and books cited herein.

Regulation of Bone Metabolism

Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...

I-34: Endometrial Secretome and Its Role in Uterine Functions

Background Earlier it was believed that uterine fluid (UF) or secretions are not relevant after the embryo implantation in humans. However, recent reports suggest that uterine secretions continue to play important role till the first trimester of human pregnancy. Evidences also suggest that uf mirrors endometrial functions or dysfunctions. Considering the relevance of uf in endometrial function...

Comparative evaluation of NOTCH signaling molecules in the endometrium of women with various gynecological diseases during the window of implantation

Objective(s): NOTCH signaling pathway is well known for its role in cell fate, cell survival, cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Some of the NOTCH signaling genes are critical for endometrial function and implantation in animals and appear to play a similar role in humans. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the potential roles of some main components of the NOTCH family in hu...
