Brigitte Leeners: New Insights on Endometrial Lesions and Infertility
Brigitte Leeners, Head of the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology at University Hospital Zurich, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper published in Cells:
“Here, we investigated endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from different types of endometrial lesions (endometrioma, superficial, and deep endometrial lesions), which revealed distinct differences in proliferation, migration, and contractility among different lesion types and when compared to ESC from normal (eutopic) endometrium. In particular, ESCs from endometriotic lesions showed reduced proliferation but increased migratory capacity, an effect most pronounced in endometrioma ESCs but also evident in ESCs from superficial and deep lesions.
New research from our group at University Hospital Zurich on endometriosis, infertility and CRISPR.”
