Inhibiting MMP activity prevents the development of endometriosis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane model

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh408

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are essential for extracellular matrix remodelling and may contribute to the development of endometriosis. Transplantation of endometrium onto the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) results i…

Proteome analysis of human mesothelial cells during epithelial to mesenchymal transitions induced by shed menstrual effluent

Proteomics ·doi:10.1002/pmic.200300827

Peritoneal endometriosis is the result of ectopic implantation and growth of endometrium tissue that has been regurgitated into the abdominal cavity during menstruation. We have previously shown that menstrual effluent induces epithelial to…

Development of endometriosis-like lesions after transplantation of human endometrial fragments onto the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/16.4.627

The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) bioassay was used to investigate the early pathogenesis of endometriosis. Endometrial fragments were explanted onto the CAM. The grafts including the surrounding CAM were excised at 24, 48 or …
