A novel mouse model of endometriosis: Simulating the recurrent hemorrhagic microenvironment of clinical lesions

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
To address the limitations of existing models, this study innovatively established a mouse model of endometriosis (EMs) capable of mimicking cyclic bleeding. Our results confirmed that this model recapitulates the complete pathological progression from ectopic lesion establishment to systemic responses, exhibiting superior clinical relevance compared ...
