Reconstructing Lineage Hierarchies of Mouse Uterus Epithelial Development Using Single-Cell Analysis
The endometrial layer comprises luminal and glandular epithelia that both develop from the same simple layer of fetal uterine epithelium. Mechanisms of uterine epithelial progenitor self-renewal and differentiation are unclear. This study aims to systematically analyze the molecular and cellular mec...
