Abstract excerpt
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a leading cause of uterine infertility and often recurs post surgery due to limited treatments. Although estrogen is widely used to prevent recurrence, its efficacy remains unclear. A key characteristic of IUA is the excessive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) by activated myofibroblasts, which disrupts normal endometrial mechanics. Whether estrogen and ECM stiffness...
