Rare epithelial and stromal stem/progenitor cells (SPC) have been identified in the mouse endometrium. However the role of these SPC in endometrial regeneration is unclear due to the lack of a traceable marker. We used transgenic mice with reporter constructs for the stem cell marker telomerase reverse transcriptase (mTert) to identify and characterize mouse endometrial SPC. Endometrial mTert expression was examined by microscopy and flow cytometry in mice expressing GFP under...
