Surface ultrastructure of uterine epithelial cells in women with premature ovarian failure following steroid hormone replacement.
Scanning electron microscopy has been used to study the apical surface of uterine epithelial cells in women with premature ovarian failure following steroid hormone replacement therapy. A variety of ultrastructural characteristics are identified which could indicate a uterus that is receptive for blastocyst implantation.
