TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the intervention will decrease the need for fertility treatment, diminish overweight-related pregnancy complications, and will improve perinatal outcome and cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endometrial angiogenesis throughout the human menstrual cycle
Jacques W.M. Maas,Patrick G. Groothuis,Gerard A.J. Dunselman,Anton F.P.M. de Goeij,Harry A.J.Struyker Boudier,Johannes L.H. Evers +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human endometrium has angiogenic potential throughout the menstrual cycle and the VDIs of the early proliferative, early and late secretory stage were significantly higher than the VDI of the late proliferative phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of endometriosis-like lesions after transplantation of human endometrial fragments onto the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane
Jacques W.M. Maas,Patrick G. Groothuis,Gerard A.J. Dunselman,Anton F.P.M. de Goeij,Harry A.J. Struijker-Boudier,Johannes L.H. Evers +5 more
TL;DR: After 3 days of incubation, endometriosis-like lesions consisting of human endometrial glands and stromal cells were found in the mesenchymal layer of the CAM, apparently resulted from the invasion of intact human epithelial structures and stronal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue integrity is essential for ectopic implantation of human endometrium in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane
Annemiek W. Nap,Patrick G. Groothuis,Ayşe Y. Demir,Jacques W.M. Maas,Gerard A.J. Dunselman,Anton F.P.M. de Goeij,Johannes L.H. Evers +6 more
TL;DR: In the CAM assay, integrity of tissue architecture determines success of implantation of human endometrium in ectopic locations, resulting in endometriotic lesion development.
