WERF Endometriosis Phenome and Biobanking Harmonisation Project for Experimental Models in Endometriosis Research (EPHect-EM-Organoids): endometrial organoids as an emerging technology for endometriosis research
Human endometrial organoids can be used to answer questions about uterine/placental cross-talk during placentation, and will provide a system for studying the pathogenesis and treatment of common conditions affecting women, such as endometriosis and endometrial cancer.
Long-term, hormone-responsive organoid cultures of human endometrium in a chemically-defined medium
Organoids are self-organising, genetically stable, 3D culture systems containing both progenitor/stem and differentiated cells that resemble the tissue of origin.
Long-term, hormone-responsive organoid cultures of human endometrium in a chemically-defined medium
The organoids phenocopied physiological responses of endometrial epithelium to hormones, including increased cell proliferation under estrogen and maturation upon progesterone
