Decreased fertility in female cystic fibrosis patients: deciphering the role of the endometrium using state-of-the-art organoid models KU Leuven

Underlying reasons remain largely unclear. In particular, it has only poorly been studied whether the endometrium, the inner lining of the womb and crucial tissue for embryo implantation, plays a role.
