Differential Effects of the Hormonal and Copper Intrauterine Device on the Endometrial Transcriptome. [PDF]
The contraceptive effectiveness of intrauterine devices (IUDs) has been attributed in part to a foreign body reaction in the endometrium. We performed this study to better understand mechanisms of action of contraceptives of by studying their effects on ...
