Cellular therapies for the endometrium: An update
2018
An update on the current state of endometrial cell therapies in terms of cell types, mechanisms of action, delivery, safety, regulatory frameworks and future perspectives. This review focuses on clinical trials using angiogenesis-promoting therapies and stromal therapies piloted in the last 10 years for alleviating Asherman's syndrome and long-term infertility. All studies present promising preliminary results, indicating increased endometrial thickness and resumed menstruation. Further characterization of individual cell products, their mode of action and larger clinical trials will be essential to establishing cell therapy as a viable option for the treatment of infertility and fertility …
Strategies for managing Asherman's syndrome and endometrial atrophy: Since the classical experimental models to the new bioengineering approach
2021
Endometrial function is essential for embryo implantation and pregnancy, but managing endometrial thickness that is too thin to support pregnancy or an endometrium of compromised functionality due to intrauterine adhesions is an ongoing challenge in reproductive medicine. Here, we review current and emerging therapeutic and experimental options for endometrial regeneration with a focus on animal models used to study solutions for Asherman's syndrome and endometrial atrophy, which both involve a damaged endometrium. A review of existing literature was performed that confirmed the lack of consensus on endometrial therapeutic options, though promising new alternatives have emerged in recent ye…
Comparison of different sources of platelet-rich plasma as treatment option for infertility-causing endometrial pathologies
2020
Objective To study the effect of human plasma from different sources, namely, umbilical cord blood and adult blood platelet-rich plasma (PRP), on the regeneration of endometrial damage. Design Composition analysis, in vitro approaches, and a preclinical murine model using plasma to promote endometrial regeneration. Setting Hospital and university laboratories. Patient(s)/Animal(s) Adult plasma from four Asherman syndrome/endometrial atrophy patients and one fertile woman, commercial umbilical cord plasma, and uterine-damaged NOD/SCID mice model were used. Intervention(s) Endometrial stromal cells from primary culture and an endometrial stem cell line were cultured in vitro, and uterine-dama…
