Hemoglobin-induced continuous activation of macrophages in endometriotic cysts: a potential mechanism of endometriosis development and carcinogenesis
Medical molecular morphology ·doi:10.1007/s00795-020-00272-4

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Endometriotic cysts contain hemoglobin (Hb) and infiltrated macrophages, indicating that the metabolism of Hb by macrophages may play an important role in the inflammation of endometriotic cy…

Involvement of M2-polarized macrophages in the ascites from advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma in tumor progression via Stat3 activation.
Cancer science ·doi:10.1111/j.1349-7006.2010.01652.x

Ascites macrophages in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AdEOC) are involved in cancer metastasis and progression by modifying the tumor microenvironment. However, the precise mechanisms of cell-to-cell interaction between macrophages and…
