Funded Activity Summary

Endometriosis and endometrial cancer are disorders of endometrial growth and regeneration. We recently discovered adult stem cells in the endometrium (uterine lining), which are responsible for its regeneration each month during the menstrual cycle. We aim to examine the role of a molecular pathway in endometrial epithelial stem cell function during endometrial regeneration to identify novel targets for devising more effective non-hormonal therapies for endometriosis and endometrial cancer.
