title: Expression and regulation of thrombospondin-1 by human endometrial stromal cells.
abstract: Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) production was modulated by EGF, IFN-gamma, and in vitro decidualization. It is suggested that TSP-1 may contribute to the regulation of neovascularization in the endometrium and gestational tissues.
