Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPNP) is an adverse effect observed in up to 80% of patients of cancer on treatment with cytostatic drugs including paclitaxel and oxaliplatin. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic p…

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play prominent roles in ion homeostasis by their ability to control cation influx. Mouse placentation is governed by the processes of trophoblast proliferation, invasion, differentiation, and fusi…

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels excel in cellular sensing as they allow rapid ion influx across the plasma membrane in response to a variety of extracellular cues. Recently, a distinct TRP mRNA expression signature was observed …

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disease, defined by dysfunctional endometrium-like lesions outside of the uterine cavity. These lesions are presumably established via retrograde menstruation, i.e., endometrial tissue that flows bac…

There is a great need for a noninvasive diagnosis for endometriosis. Several biomarkers and biomarker panels have been proposed. Biomarker models consisting of CA-125, VEGF, Annexin V, and glycodelin/sICAM-1 were previously developed by our…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that is characterized by the presence of functional endometrial-like lesions in the abdominal cavity. Aside from epithelial cells, these lesions consist of stromal cells that have the capacity…

IntroductionFetal microchimerism has been implicated in the etiology of autoimmune diseases. This study was done to test the hypothesis that male fetal microchimerism is present in eutopic and ectopic endometrium (EM) obtained from women wi…
