The role of endometrial stem cells in women’s reproductive health and disease, and their use in cell based therapies

育龄妇女子宫内膜每月快速生长和脱落。我发现了两种类型的子宫内膜干细胞，改变了我们对子宫内膜如何生长以及这一过程中的异常如何导致妇科疾病的理解。这个项目将描述子宫内膜干细胞在子宫内膜异位症中的作用，并研究子宫内膜间充质干细胞如何用于盆腔器官脱垂的细胞治疗。

The endometrial lining of the uterus rapidly grows and sheds each month in reproductive age women. My discovery of 2 types of endometrial stem cells has changed our understanding of how endometrium grows and how abnormalities in this process lead to gynaecological disease. This project will characterise the role of endometrial stem cells in endometriosis and examine how endometrial mesenchymal stem cells can be used as a cell-based therapy for pelvic organ prolapse.
