Cellular 'bandages' help rebuild uterine lining after monthly shedding, study finds

For most women past puberty, the uterine lining (endometrium) sheds from the body roughly every month if there is no fertilized egg present. Then, the uterus rebuilds itself to prepare for a potential pregnancy. While this process—the menstrual cycle—is widely known, how it works
