Characteristics of Human Endometrium-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Tropism to Endometriosis

EMSC migration towards endometriosis in vitro. (a) EMSCs migrated towards ectopic endometrial cells in vitro. The cells were counted by microscopy. Scale bar = 200 μm. (b) EMSCs migrated towards EUECs in vitro. The cells were counted by microscopy. Scale bar = 200 μm. (c) Diagram of EMSC tropism to endometriosis in vitro. The EMSCs revealed a significantly higher tropism to the ectopic endometrial cells of patients with endometriosis than to the control eutopic cells. The error bars, standard deviation, and values were determined using the two independent samples t-test; .
