Arrangement of myofibroblastic and smooth muscle-like cells in superficial peritoneal endometriosis and a possible role of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) in myofibroblastic metaplasia
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-018-4995-y

PurposeSuperficial peritoneal endometriotic (pEM) lesions are composed of endometrial glands and stroma, in addition to a third component-myofibroblasts and smooth muscles (SM)-like cells. The latter develops secondary to a metaplasia. In t…

Myofibroblasts Are Evidence of Chronic Tissue Microtrauma at the Endometrial-Myometrial Junctional Zone in Uteri With Adenomyosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719116687855

BackgroundAdenomyosis (AM) uteri exhibit hyperperistalsis. The latter causes a chronic tissue trauma at the endometrial-myometrial junctional zone (EMJZ). Upon tissue trauma, microdehiscences in the myometrium facilitate the translocation o…
