Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719115607978

Endometriosis is associated with local angiogenic and hypoxic mechanisms. Indeed, peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis generates a specific microenvironment to support the growth and development of ectopic endometrial tissues. The a…
