Endometrial angiogenesis is not well studied, but has potential as a model for studies of physiological angiogenesis. Migration as well as proliferation of vascular endothelial cells are modulated by other endometrial cells. This study analyzes the chemotactic signal released from endometrial tissue in a wound assay using human microvascular endothelial cells. Endometrial tissue explants stimulate
