Tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 do not promote adhesion of human endometrial epithelial cells to mesothelial cells in a quantitative in vitro model*

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dei375

BACKGROUND: A key factor in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is the endometrial-peritoneal adhesion. To study the pathogenesis of endometriosis, a quantitative in vitro assay (QIVA) was developed to measure in vitro adhesion between human …

In-vitro adhesion of endometrium to autologous peritoneal membranes: effect of the cycle phase and the stage of endometriosis

Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/17.10.2523

BACKGROUND: Endometrium can adhere to autologous peritoneum. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of the menstrual cycle phase and the presence and stage of endometriosis on in-vitro adhesion of endometrium onto autologous peri…
