Endometrial epithelial cell organoids as tools for studying the CD39 family of enzymes and for validating enzyme inhibitors

Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) conducts a complex dynamic system of broadly represented cell signaling. Ectonucleotidases are the enzymes with nucleotide hydrolytic ability that regulate ATP levels in physiological and pathological conditions, thus playing a key role in the so-called pur...
