Stem cell find to shed light on womb disorders
Researchers at Monash University have identified stem cells in the lining of women's wombs that have the ability to switch into a range of fat, bone or muscle cells as needed.
The find, reported in the international journal Human Reproduction, could help explain the mechanics of common gynaecological conditions such as endometriosis, a painful and poorly understood disorder affecting 6 per cent of women.
