Regulation of mucosal immunity in the female reproductive tract: the role of sex hormones in immune protection against sexually transmitted pathogens.
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12252

The immune system in the female reproductive tract (FRT) does not mount an attack against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other sexually transmitted infections (STI) with a single endogenously produced microbicide or with a single arm…

Modulation of hepatocyte growth factor secretion in human female reproductive tract stromal fibroblasts by poly (I:C) and estradiol
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2011.01063.x

PROBLEM: Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) secretion facilitates epithelial cell growth and development in the female reproductive tract (FRT) and may contribute to pathological conditions such as cancer and endometriosis. We hypothesized that…

Sex hormone regulation of innate immunity in the female reproductive tract: the role of epithelial cells in balancing reproductive potential with protection against sexually transmitted pathogens.
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2010.00842.x

The immune system in the female reproductive tract (FRT) does not mount an attack against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections (STI) with a single endogenously produced microbicide or with a single arm of the immune system. Instead,…

article 2009
Estradiol modulation of hepatocyte growth factor by stromal fibroblasts in the female reproductive tract
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.10.047

Primary human uterine, cervical, and ectocervical stromal fibroblasts constitutively secrete hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), yet only uterine stromal fibroblasts increase HGF secretion in response to estradiol. Estradiol-induced HGF secreti…
