Título: | The Emerging Role of Menstrual-Blood-Derived Stem Cells in Endometriosis | Autor: | Cordeiro, Mariana de Freitas da Cunha Robalo Carvalhos, Carlota A. Figueiredo-Dias, Margarida |
Palavras-chave: | menstrual-blood-derived stem cells; endometriosis; early diagnosis; pathophysiology | Data: | 24-Dez-2022 | Editora: | MDPI | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Biomedicines | Volume: | 11 | Número: | 1 | Resumo: | The human endometrium has a complex cellular composition that is capable of promoting cyclic regeneration, where endometrial stem cells play a critical role. Menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSC) were first discovered in 2007 and described as exhibiting mesenchymal stem cell properties, setting them in the spotlight for endometriosis research. The stem cell theory for endometriosis pathogenesis, supported by the consensual mechanism of retrograde menstruation, highlights the recognized importance that MenSC have gained by potentially being directly related to the genesis, development and maintenance of ectopic endometriotic lesions. Meanwhile, the differences observed between MenSC in patients with endometriosis and in healthy women underlines the applicability of these cells as a putative biomarker for the early diagnosis of endometriosis, as well as for the development of targeted therapies. It is expected that in the near future MenSC will have the potential to change the way we manage this complex disease, once their long-term safety and effectiveness are assessed. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/114909 | ISSN: | 2227-9059 | DOI: | 10.3390/biomedicines11010039 | Direitos: | openAccess |
