BACKGROUND Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is essential for blastocyst implantation in mice. It has been suggested that LIF may play a role in human first trimester...
Stoikos, Chelsea J., Harrison, Craig A., Salamonsen, Lois A., Dimitriadis, Evdokia
BACKGROUND Successful blastocyst implantation requires the differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESC), a process known as decidualization. Activin A, a transforming growth factor β...

BACKGROUND: Breakthrough bleeding (BTB) is the most common reason for discontinuation of progestin-only (p-only) contraceptives, yet the causes are unknown. Use of p-only contraceptives is associated...

The present investigation was conducted to identify and characterize an mRNA that was found by RNA differential display to be uniquely regulated at the sites of embryo implantation in mouse uterus....
Jones, Rebecca L., Salamonsen, Lois A., Zhao, Yi Chen, Ethier, Jean-Franciois, Drummond, Ann E., Findlay, Jock K.
Decidualization of the human endometrium is critical for implantation, but the mechanisms involved are largely unknown. Activin subunits are expressed in endometrium during decidualization. From its...
Uterine Dysfunction and Genetic Modifiers in Centromere Protein B-deficient Mice (2000)

RNA differential display was applied to identify genes critical for the establishment of pregnancy in the mouse. One of the gene fragments identified was homologous to human SC35 splicing factor; the...
Endometrial leukocytes and menstruation (2000)
Salamonsen, Lois A., Lathbury, Louise J.
This review examines evidence supporting the concept that menstruation occurs as a result of an inflammatory process. In the endometrium, leukocyte numbers rise in the late secretory phase following...
In-vitro studies of the potential role of neutrophils in the process of menstruation (2000)
Lathbury, Louise J., Salamonsen, Lois A.
Significant numbers of neutrophils are found extravascularly within the endometrium only during the immediate premenstrual and menstrual phases of the cycle. In this study we investigated the effect...
