Association of mesenchymal cells and immunoglobulins with differentiating epithelial cells
BMC developmental biology ·doi:10.1186/1471-213x-1-11

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions play an important role in the physiology and pathology of epithelial tissues. Mesenchymal cells either associate with epithelium basement membrane [pericytes and perivascular monocyte-derived …

Is irregular regression of corpora lutea in climacteric women caused by age-induced alterations in the "tissue control system"?
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1996.tb00183.x

PROBLEM: We have recently observed that the regression of corpora lutea (CL) in women during the reproductive period of life is accompanied by a diminution of Thy-1 differentiation protein release from vascular pericytes and an accumulation…

IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-2 in peritoneal fluid and macrophage-conditioned media of women with endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1995.tb00968.x

PROBLEM: The presence of various cytokines in human peritoneal fluid has been incompletely evaluated. Changes in cytokine levels may be related to the development of endometriosis, infertility, and activation of peritoneal macrophages. This…
