This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. There has been considerable interest in the relationship between microvessels and secretory glands in human endometrium. However, microcirculatory networks have rarely been studied in three dimensions (3-D ). This study has been designed to visualise and to reveal the relationship between microvessels and their glandular environment and epithelial boundaries in 3-D , using tissue obtained from hysterectomy. Primary antibodies against vascular endothelial cells and keratin will be used to demonstrate vessels, glands and epithelium. The reults will be analysed by laser scanning confocal microscopy which enables 3-D images of the microvessel environment in endometrium to be studied. * Software distribution of Xfido and Xvoxtrace.
