“…For intraperitoneal injection models using decidualized endometrium, decidualization is often induced by injecting oil (Greaves et al, 2014;Forster et al, 2019;Horne et al, 2019;Kim et al, 2020) into, or by scratching (Ferrero et al, 2017), the uterine horn and harvesting the decidualized tissue with forceps. A variety of hormonal paradigms in ovariectomized or intact female mice are described to induce endometrial decidualization prior to harvest (Greaves et al, 2014;Ferrero et al, 2017;Forster et al, 2019;Horne et al, 2019;Kim et al, 2020). The uterine horn is opened longitudinally and the decidualized endometrium is dissected or scraped from the underlying myometrium (Kim et al, 2020).…”
