The ascent of novel alternative methods (NAMs) in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need for pre-clinical models of …
ObjectiveTo evaluate whether endometrial molecular profiles distinguish subsets of patients according to clinical characteristics, and to infer dysregulated immune networks, by measuring cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in endometr…
Research questionWhat is the association between endometrioma-affected ovaries, their follicular fluid inflammatory microenvironment, and ovary-specific oocyte and embryo yield and quality?DesignExposure-matched prospective cohort study con…
Methods to parse paracrine epithelial-stromal communication networks are a vital need in drug development, as disruption of these networks underlies diseases ranging from cancer to endometriosis. Here, we describe a modular, synthetic, and …
ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in endometriosis exhibit increased cell motility under hypoxia.DesignProspective case-control study.SettingUniversity research laboratory.Patient(s)Women with endometrios…
BACKGROUND: In endometriosis, the establishment and subsistence of ectopic lesions outside the endometrium suggest an altered cellular state for pathological hyperplasia. Sphingolipids are bioactive compounds, and their biosynthesis and met…
