OBJECTIVE: To 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 endome…
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to characterize peritoneal cytokine profiles in patients with infertility, with and without endometriosis, to illuminate potential differences in immune profiles that may reflect mechanistic differences between these …

The early decline and loss of female fertility in humans and other species represents an evolutionary paradox. Despite being born with a vast stock of oocytes, females encounter an exhaustion of ovarian reserve and sterility half way throug…
STUDY QUESTION: Do endometriomas induce an inflammatory reaction with increased cytokine concentrations in nearby follicles and thereby affect follicular development during controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF)? S…
OBJECTIVE: To assess success rates of IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in women with various stages of endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Reproductive medicine unit in a university hospital. PATIENT(S): I…
