Abstract Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is also increased in endometriosis. IL-10 production by Th17 cells is critical for limiting autoimmunity and inflammatory responses. …
It has reported that human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) express thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and TSLP concentrations in the serum and peritoneal fluid were higher in women with endometriosis. Endometriosis is an estrogen-depende…
Many efforts have been devoted to establish in vitro cell culture systems. These systems are designed to model a vast number of in vivo processes. Cell culture systems arising from human endometrial samples are no exception. Applications ra…
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a member of the IL-10 cytokine family and plays critical roles in inflammation, immune surveillance, and tissue homeostasis. However, whether IL-22 regulates the growth of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), and part…
STUDY QUESTION: Is Nometastatic gene 23-H1 (NME1, also known as nm23-H1) involved in regulating the biological behavior of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), and does it participate in the pathogenesis of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: NME1 …
Objective:To discuss the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of adolescent endometriosis.Methods:A retrospective analyzed of 30 cases of adolescent patients with endometriosis clinical data.Results:The average interval of adole…
