Endometrial regeneration and stem cells
Summary:
The present study studies the regeneration of the endometrium by stem cells. The endometrium undergoes approximately 450 cycles of multiplication, differentiation, disintegration, elimination and repair during a woman's reproductive life. The discovery of endometrial stem cells represents a paradigm shift in the use of adult stem cells, offering a new therapeutic application of regenerative medicine. Adult stem cells derived from the blood of the period, the endometrium, the bone marrow and the umbilical cord act on the regeneration of the damaged endometrium through direct differentiation or side effects. Successful application of these stem cells in the treatment of endometrial atrophy, extensive endometrial adhesions and scarring improves menstruation and helps enhance female fertility. However, it is necessary to develop effective techniques for the successful regeneration of the damaged endometrium after tumors in the reproductive system and especially after endometrial cancer.
