Uterine cancer is cancer that affects the uterus (womb), the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows during pregnancy. The uterus is lined with tissue called the endometrium. When cancer grows ...

New insights into the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the human uterine endometrium could advance the understanding of the mechanisms of endometrial regeneration and fertilized egg implantation ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can support the growth of a mini endometrium in a dish for at least two weeks. The endometrium—the mucosal lining of the ...

Inside your pelvis is an organ that plays an important role in your period, ability to get pregnant, and carry a pregnancy. As with other parts of your body, sometimes cancer cells can grow there. The ...

We are investigating the effect of metabolism on endometrial growth and its possible role in abnormal proliferation of the endometrium. There are concerns that cancer cells are able to use the body’s ...

Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding is reported by 90% of patients with a diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Risk factors for endometrial cancer include obesity, increasing age, type 2 diabetes, use of ...

Adult stem cells have captured researchers’ interest since their discovery in the 1960s. Due to their unique capacity to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types, scientists find them ...
