The model described suggests that endometrium can be successfully transplanted to the rabbit eye and observed through a slit lamp for morphological changes such as vascularization. Sampling of aqueous humor in volumes adequate for biochemical measurements have been demonstrated. Autografts of rabbit endometrium survived for up to 181 days. Although xenografts of human endometrial and endometriotic tissue demonstrate some adherence and vascularization, there is indication of immune rejection by day 7. Other treatment regimens will be explored with the objective of prolonging the graft survival time.

D004715 Endometriosis A condition in which functional endometrial tissue is present outside the UTERUS. It is often confined to the PELVIS involving the OVARY, the ligaments, cul-de-sac, and the uterovesical peritoneum. Endometrioma,Endometriomas,Endometrioses
D004717 Endometrium The mucous membrane lining of the uterine cavity that is hormonally responsive during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE and PREGNANCY. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes that characterize MENSTRUATION. After successful FERTILIZATION, it serves to sustain the developing embryo. Endometria
