Identification and characterization of the somatic stem cell niche in the human endometrium
2013
El endometrio es la capa de mucosa que recubre el interior del útero y consiste en un epitelio simple cilíndrico con o sin cilios, glándulas y un estroma rico en tejido conjuntivo y altamente vascularizado. Durante cada ciclo menstrual, el endometrio sufre una serie de cambios en respuesta a fluctuaciones en los niveles de las hormonas esteroideas procedentes del ovario. El endometrio se divide histológicamente en dos capas, la capa basal, la cual ni responde a las hormonas esteroideas ni sufre descamación, pudiendo regenerar una nueva capa funcional en el siguiente ciclo menstrual. Mientras que la capa funcional si responde tanto a la progesterona como el estradiol, descamándose durante la…
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) as a putative human endometrial stem cell marker†
2013
The endometrium is recognized for its remarkable regenerative and remodeling capacity. Every month this hormonally regu- lated organ undergoes cycles of growth (from 0.5-2 to 7 mm), regression and shedding of two-third of the tissue, leading to its monthly renewal that occurs � 400 times in a woman's reproductive lifetime. Several groups have suggested the existence of a human endometrial somatic stem cell (SSC) population located around the spiral arterioles of the basalis. Different groups have isolated, identified and charac- terized putative endometrial SSC populations in human endometrium based on the general features of undifferentiated cells, such as slow cycling detected using the 5…
Somatic stem cells in the human endometrium.
2013
The existence of human endometrial somatic stem cells was proposed in the mid-20th century for the first time. This hypothesis became stronger and was revised by two authors between 1978 and 1989. Nevertheless, it was not until 2004 that scientific evidence was first published. As we describe here, the great regenerative capability of the human endometrium has been finally questioned in the last 8 years, and this period can be considered the most productive in endometrial stem cell biology given the new scientific information recapitulated to date. We provide a detailed summary based on the actual scientific knowledge obtained about (1) the existence of somatic stem cells in murine (detecte…
