Apoptosis occurs in late secretory and menstrual human endometrium and is thought to play an important role in endometrial physiology. Menstrual-like breakdown has been observed in vitro in endometrial explants. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of apoptosis in menstrual-like breakdown in human endometrial explants.
