| Abstract: | Purpose A three-dimensional cell culture system imitating normal uterine endometrium has previously been established. To what degree do cultured epithelial cells retain their morphological characteristics as compared to in vivomaterial obtained simultaneously from the same tissue donor.Results We found a high degree of similarity between the in vivoand in vitrosituations. The present culture system furthermore imitates the day-to-day morphology of the cycle.Conclusions This indicates, that a correct timing of the biopsy tissue is important for future human implantation studies.Presented at the IXth World Congress on In Vitro Fertilization and Alternate Assisted Reproduction, April 3–7, 1995, Vienna, Austria. |
