Hormonal birth control prevents your body from ovulating, and also prevents your endometrium (uterine lining) from thickening and shedding the way you're used to with normal periods.

«In a normal menstruating woman, two hormones control the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus).

Matteo Boretto, the first author on this study, commented that «we were very excited to see that we could not only robustly grow and amplify endometrial tissue in a dish, but that the tiny structures were also able to reproduce normal responses of the endometrium to hormones: oestrogen makes the tissue thicken, progesterone then induces maturation including folding (see picture), and subsequent removal of both hormones mimics the cell shedding of the menstrual period.»

Normal tissues are represented by samples from three individuals each, one core per individual, except for endometrium, skin, soft tissue and stomach, which are represented by samples from six individuals each and parathyroid gland, which is represented by one sample.

Future experiments to validate this model by directly manipulating signaling between conceptus and endometrium will allow for a more precise understanding of the mechanisms of pregnancy failures that occur during the periimplantation period after normal fertilization and SCNT cloning.

In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation.
