The Role of Endometrial Stem/Progenitor Cells in Recurrent Reproductive Failure
, Andrew J. Drakeley 2,3, Dharani K. Hapangama 1,3 and Nicola Tempest 1,2,3,*Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a through, well-written, and well-cited review on the contributions of SPCs to recurrent reproductive failure. I have very few critiques or items to add to this manuscript, with the exception of adding a few references to support certain of the Authors’ claims, lest they resemble setting up a straw-man argument.
- Lines 70-72: cite references
- Lines 94-95: cite references
- Line 157- typo with “remining”
- Lines 157-165: reference figure 2 here instead of just at the end of the paragraph, as I was about to propose a diagram, but continued to scroll.
- Line 332-334: consider moving the description of AS to where it is first introduced in the manuscript
- Line 368: define DPP4
