Rapamycin induces regression of endometriotic lesions by inhibiting neovascularization and cell proliferation
British journal of pharmacology ·doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0706857

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Rapamycin is a widely used drug with antifungal, immunosuppressant and antiangiogenic effects. Herein, we studied whether immunosuppressive doses of rapamycin are capable of influencing endometriotic lesions. EXPERIM…

article 2006
Selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibition induces regression of autologous endometrial grafts by down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated angiogenesis and stimulation of caspase-3-dependent apoptosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2006.05.068

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition on the angiogenesis and proliferation of endometrial grafts.DesignIntravital fluorescence microscopic study.SettingInstitute for Clinical and Experimental…

article 2005
Combined inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor, but not inhibition of VEGF alone, effectively suppresses angiogenesis and vessel maturation in endometriotic lesions
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dei308

BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis represents the crucial step in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, because endometriotic lesions require neovascularization to establish, proliferate and invade inside the peritoneal cavity. To elucidate the role of …

article 2005
In vivo analysis of angiogenesis in endometriosis-like lesions by intravital fluorescence microscopy
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.05.010

ObjectiveTo establish a novel endometriosis model that allows for repetitive in vivo analyses of angiogenesis in ectopic endometrial tissue.DesignIntravital fluorescence microscopic study.SettingInstitute for Clinical and Experimental Surge…
