The role of the junctional zone in the management of adenomyosis with infertility [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 The junctional zone (JZ) is an important structure in the myometrium that maintains uterine fertility. Changes in the junctional zone are closely related to infertility and adenomyosis (ADS).

Junctional zone thickening: an endo-myometrial unit disorder. [PDF]
Facts Views Vis Obgyn, 2023 Adenomyosis is a disease defined by histopathology, mostly of hysterectomy specimens, and classification is challenged by the disagreement of the histologic definition. With the introduction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and two- and three-dimensional ultrasound, the diagnosis of adenomyosis became a clinical entity.

Hectd1 is required for development of the junctional zone of the placenta. [PDF]
Dev Biol, 2014 The placenta plays a critical role in the growth and survival of the fetus. Here we demonstrate that the Homologous to the E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus (HECT) domain E3 ubiquitin ligase, Hectd1, is essential for development of the mouse placenta. Hectd1 is widely expressed during placentation with enrichment in trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) and other ...
