Figure 3

Representative pictures of human endometrial stromal cells observed under inverted microscope (Nikon). (a) Endometrial stromal cells not exposed to hormonal stimuli. The characteristic spindle-like shape of stromal cells is recognizable. (b) Endometrial stromal cells after priming with steroid hormones (E2 + P4 for 12 days). The polygonal shape, typical of decidualized cells, is recognizable. Scale bar = 200 μm.
