Fig. 8: Abnormal uterine repair in Blimp1Δ females.

a At PP2 in Blimp1Δ uteri, debris and blood (asterisks) are observed. Mmp10 staining is dramatically reduced whereas re-epithelization of the detachment site has not yet been completed (n = 5). b By PP7, wild type uteri have been fully repaired and remodelled whereas the endometrium in the mutants fails to appropriately remodel and residual Mmp10 staining is confined to the placental detachment sites (n = 3). M mesometrial, AM antimesometrial. Scale bars = 1 mm, 50 μm (magnified panels).
