Engineering the endometrium
Abstract
Endometrial tissue is a dynamic environment that regenerates alongside the menstrual cycle and in response to sex hormones. This month in Med, Gnecco and colleagues1 present an innovative, synthetic model of endometrial environment that supports long-term cultures, simulates a 28-day menstrual cycle, and could be employed to investigate reproductive pathophysiology.
