HedPredEndometrial Receptivity Database

Explore the biology of endometrial receptivity

HEDPRED brings together endometrial gene-expression datasets and bioinformatics tools for researchers studying tissue function across the menstrual cycle. Explore available data, investigate pathways, or contact the lab about working with your own dataset.

The embryo and endometrium interface: a hollow, ball-shaped early embryo resting against the folded lining of the uterus, whose tall columnar cells carry small receptor-like projections, with golden signalling particles passing between them.

Menstrual Cycle Phases

Two cycles, one tissue

The ovarian cycle is described through the follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase. The endometrial cycle is described through menstrual, proliferative, and secretory phases. These connected timelines help place each tissue sample in its biological context.

The three phases of the menstrual cycle side by side: follicular phase, ovulation and luteal phase. Hormone curves for FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone run above them, with the LH surge at ovulation. Below, the ovary in each phase, stained sections of the endometrium showing glands and spiral arteries, and notes on endometrial thickness, which grows from about 1 to 3 mm to about 5 to 8 mm.

Follicular Phase

The follicular phase commences on the initial day of menstruation and concludes with ovulation.

Ovulation

Ovulation is the stage of the menstrual cycle during which an ovum is released from an ovary.

Luteal Phase

The luteal phase constitutes the latter segment of the menstrual cycle and readies the uterus for potential pregnancy.

What does “endometrial receptivity” mean?

Endometrial receptivity describes a state of the uterine lining studied in relation to embryo implantation. HEDPRED gives researchers tools and datasets to explore the gene-expression patterns associated with this biology.

RESEARCH PLATFORM

From datasets to research questions

Browse endometrial research data, use bioinformatics tools to examine expression and pathways, or contact the team about bringing your own data.

A small gene interaction network: one central hub joined to five neighbours, some of which are joined to each other.

Comprehensive data analysis

Access extensive datasets for endometrial research and gene expression studies.

Advanced analytics tools

Use bioinformatics tools for pathway analysis and visualisation.

Secure and reliable

Research data stays on the lab's own infrastructure and is never shared.

Discuss a sample with the lab

The lab assesses an endometrial sample and reports it as pre-receptive, receptive, or post-receptive. Send a request to learn about sample requirements, handling, and next steps.
