Abstract:Endometrial epithelium gives rise to both endometrial and ovarian cancers (of clear-cell and endometrioid subtypes), the latter arising from ectopic endometrium (endometriosis). Endometrial epithelium comprises mainly secretory cells, with a minor ciliated cell population. Due to their scarcity, little is known about the biology or function of endometrial ciliated cells. To understand the biology of endometrial epithelium, and by extension the cancers that arise from it, organoids derived from normal endometri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
