The expression of human alpha and beta defensin in the endometrium and their effect on implantation
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-007-9173-2

BACKGROUND: Alpha and beta defensins have been isolated from various human tissues and form an important part of the innate immune system. Their role in implantation of the embryo has not yet been studied. This study was designed to detect …

Peritoneal environment, cytokines and angiogenesis in the pathophysiology of endometriosis
·doi:10.1530/reprod/123.2.217

Endometriosis, defined by the presence of viable endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is a common condition affecting 2-3% of women of reproductive age. Today, a composite theory of retrograde menstruation with implantation of end…
