The most comprehensive map of the human endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, has been created, uncovering diverse cell types and detailing the dynamic changes these go through during the menstrual cycle.
The inner lining of the uterus has been mapped during multiple phases of the menstrual cycle, starting to shed new light on the cells and processes involved and their potential role in conditions such as endometriosis.
Encompassing the widest range of menstrual cycle phases ever mapped, the atlas reveals new insights into endometrium functioning, informing women’s health research. Built by researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford, and collaborators, it could help study, understand, and possibly treat conditions such as endometriosis in the future.
