Epidemiological findings show that lifestyle factors such as contraceptive use and pregnancy, a progesterone dominant state, decrease the risk of getting OC. How ovarian hormones modify the risk of OC is currently unclear. Our study identifies activated Wnt signalling to be a marker for precursor lesions of OC and successfully develops a mouse model that mimics the earliest events in pathogenesis of OC by constitutively activating ßcatenin. Using this model and human OC cells, we show that oestrogen promotes and progesterone suppresses the growth of OC cells.]]> Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:54:46 AEDT ]]> Development and characterization of human fetal female reproductive tract organoids to understand Müllerian duct anomalies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53981 Thu 25 Jan 2024 12:57:12 AEDT ]]> Oestrogen fuels the growth of endometrial hyperplastic lesions initiated by overactive Wnt/β-catenin signalling https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43322 Thu 15 Sep 2022 14:43:38 AEST ]]> Role of Wnt signalling in endometrial homeostasis and cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32344 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:47:41 AEST ]]> Differential Wnt signaling activity limits epithelial gland development to the anti-mesometrial side of the mouse uterus https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33850 Fri 18 Jan 2019 14:48:51 AEDT ]]>
