Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and thin endometrium (TE) represent significant challenges in human reproduction. The condition arises frequently from damage to the endometrial basal layer, leading to fibrous tissue replacing the functional endometrium and impairing the uterus's ability to accept embryo implantation. Conventional treatments, mainly including hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and estrogen therapies, have shown limited success, particularly in severe cases. Regenerative medicine, with its focus on stem cell-based therapies and biomaterials, offers a promising avenue for restoring endometrial function and structure. This review synthesizes the current landscape of endometrial regeneration, focusing on the therapeutic potential of stem cells, the supportive role of biomaterials, and the importance of understanding molecular mechanisms to develop effective strategies for reconstruction of endometrial functional and fertility restoration.
宫腔粘连(IUA)和薄型子宫内膜(TE)是人类生殖领域的重大挑战。这种情况通常源于子宫内膜基底层受损,导致纤维组织取代功能层子宫内膜,并损害子宫接受胚胎着床的能力。传统治疗方法主要包括宫腔镜粘连松解术和雌激素疗法,但效果有限,尤其是在严重病例中。再生医学专注于基于干细胞的疗法和生物材料,为恢复子宫内膜功能和结构提供了一条有前景的途径。本综述综合了子宫内膜再生的现状,重点关注干细胞的治疗潜力、生物材料的支持作用以及理解分子机制对于制定有效的子宫内膜功能重建和生育力恢复策略的重要性。
