Uterine atlas can lead to better models of the womb, provide insights into diseases

In the quest to study the womb and its role in reproductive health, researchers in the Turco lab and their collaborators have generated a cellular map of the human uterus and of endometrial organoids — lab-grown models of the womb’s lining. The atlas, which is the most detailed of its kind, will help scientists to develop better models of the womb. The work could provide new insights into the healthy uterine tissue as well as into infertility, uterine cancer and other conditions.
