Human ectocervical epithelium sequencing in response to menstrual hormones

Human 3D tissue-engineered ectocervical tissue containing differentiated epithelium and stroma were treated with cycling follicular phase hormones, luteal phase hormones, and no hormones. RNA isolated from epithelium was sequenced to determine effects of estradiol and progesterone on ectocervical mucosa throughout the menstrual cycle.
