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. …
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is a well-established stem cell marker in multiple epithelial tissues. However, its spatial distribution and biological relevance in normal and pathological human endometrium remain …
Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, plays a critical role in female reproductive health, particularly in ovarian function. This review provides …
This review aims to evaluate the potential of endometriosis models, especially patient-derived iPSC models, to gain deeper insights into the disease, thereby advancing our understanding and treatment of endometriosis. This …
Endometrial dysfunction represents a central pathological factor underlying recurrent implantation failure and infertility. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the physiological basis of endometrial function, the pathological factors compromising …
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and endometriosis are debilitating gynecological disorders that impair endometrial function and fertility. IUA, typically caused by iatrogenic trauma to the basal endometrium, leads to fibrosis and infertility, …
Human endometrium sheds and regenerates each month during the menstrual cycle. N-cadherin+ (CDH2) glandular epithelial progenitors and SUSD2+ mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their niches have been identified, but their …
Stem cell-based models resembling murine blastocysts represent a useful system to investigate subsequent developmental processes. While existing cell lines derived from epiblast and trophectoderm can be aggregated to form 'blastoids', …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease sustained by aberrant angiogenesis and progressive fibrosis. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) in a surgically …
The establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those derived from endometrial …
