Cell Teraphy Network.
Spanish Ministry of Health.
Tercel is a cross network dedicated to research in cell therapy. More 
than 160 researchers from Spain, in 27 research groups and 6 
associated clinical groups, are active (with international partners) 
in order to transfer to National Health System advances and 
discoveries generated in this new therapeutic technique. The Red Cell 
Therapy (Tercel) is divided into 6 platforms, providing techniques 
and equipment to all research groups, and in 3 general areas of 
research for the 3 germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm).

Isolation and characterization of endometrial somatic stem cells in 
endometriosis. Pathogenic and therapeutic implications.
This project aims the identification and characterization of somatic 
stem cell population of endometrium in endometriosis using cell 
biology techniques previously described and published by our group in 
a mouse model, and even unprecedented in human and we developed in 
our previous project SAF 2004-00204 which was aimed at identifying 
somatic stem cell population in healthy women. Finally the somatic 
stem cell population "endometriotic" identified in this project will 
be used to search for therapeutic targets that inhibit clonal growth 
as a new therapeutic approach to treat endometriosis.

Isolation and characterization of endometrial somatic stem cells in 
endometriosis. Pathogenic and therapeutic implications.
Identification of Endometrial Stem Cell Markers. From Animal Models 
to Human Endometrial Stem Cell Therapy
Our hypothesis is based on the analysis of specific Endometrial Stem 
Cell Markers in order to identify SSC in human endometrium and to 
know more about the localization, regulation and cellular niche in 
human endometrium. We pretend to localize specific Stem Cell Markers 
in the endometrial cells in different menstrual phases. Moreover, we 
aim to isolate and to differentiate in vitro and in vivo human 
endometrium from those endometrial markers cells. Finally we prove 
our results in two established animal models.
