stromal cell of endometrium

A stromal cell of the endometrium, characterized by its fibroblast-like morphology, regenerative capacity, and ability to undergo decidualization. It differentiates into a decidual stromal cell during pregnancy, essential for embryo implantation and maintenance. This cell is involved in tissue proliferation, remodeling, and breakdown, responding to hormonal changes, particularly estrogen and progesterone.
