Reproductive Microbiomes: Using the Microbiome as a Novel Diagnostic Tool for Endometriosis
·doi:10.21767/2476-1974.100036

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease which results in significant pain and long term reproductive consequences for up to 50% of infertile women. This study was focused to understand how endometriosis altered the uteri…

What Does Diagnosis of Endometriosis Mean? The Patient′s Perspective
·doi:10.4172/2375-4508.1000176

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease, which causes significant physiological pain but also psychological distress leading to decreased quality of life for those afflicted with the disease. Though researchers have investigated this disea…

Endometriosis-induced changes in regulatory T cells — insights towards developing permanent contraception
Contraception ·doi:10.1016/j.contraception.2015.06.006
article 2012
Induction of endometriosis alters the peripheral and endometrial regulatory T cell population in the non-human primate
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des083

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that is characterized by extreme abdominal pain and also decreased fertility. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have immunosuppressive activity critical for embryonic implantation and likewise…

article 2012
Lesion kinetics in a non-human primate model of endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des196

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the normal location, predominantly in the pelvic peritoneum causing s…

Endometriosis Alters the Peripheral and Endometrial Expression of Regulatory T Cells in a Non-Human Primate.
·doi:10.1093/biolreprod/85.s1.72

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that is characterized by extreme abdominal pain and also decreased fertility. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have immunosuppressive activity critical for embryonic implantation and likewise the accepta…

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer expression in the baboon endometrium: menstrual cycle and endometriosis
Reproduction (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1530/rep-09-0481

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN; BSG) regulates tissue remodeling through matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In human and non-human primates, endometrial remodeling is important for menstruation and the pathogenesis o…

The non-human primate model of endometriosis: research and implications for fecundity
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gap057

The development of an animal model of endometriosis is crucial for the investigation of disease pathogenesis and therapeutic intervention. These models will enhance our ability to evaluate the causes for the subfertility associated with dis…

Cytokines Regulate Matrix Metalloproteinases in Human Uterine Endometrial Fibroblast Cells Through a Mechanism That Does Not Involve Increases in Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2006.00418.x

PROBLEM: Endometriosis is the presence of ectopic uterine endometrial tissue in the peritoneal cavity. Peritoneal fluid samples of women with endometriosis show elevated interleukin-1 (IL-1)beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and transf…
