The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2012-3402

CONTEXT: Retinoic acid (RA) may promote survival or apoptosis of cells, depending on the levels of binding proteins: apoptosis-inducing cellular RA binding protein 2 (CRABP2), and cell survival-promoting fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5)…

Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.111.098806

Recently we reported that statins, the competitive inhibitors of the key enzyme regulating the mevalonate pathway, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), decrease proliferation of human endometrial stromal (HES) cells. Fur…

Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.3109/00016348209156574

We present a case of extragenital endometrioid cystadenofibroma, whose rare pelvic localization is the motive for its publication, as no similar case had been described previously. Its possible histogenesis from a pelvic mesothelium, as wel…
