内容説明
A research oriented text, with clinical translation, this book provides a comprehensive multi-disciplinary account of the uterine endometrium. The first book to define the regulatory biological interrelationships between epithelial and stromal cell phenotypes, endothelial cells, extracellular matrix, and immunobiological elements, it highlights their relevance to clinical conditions. Containing critical reviews from leading researchers around the world, the book is a crucial reference on reproductive cyclicity and embryo-endometrial interrelationships. It is useful to investigators and students across a broad spectrum of disciplines, particularly in reproductive biology and medicine.
