Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.104.038331

Endometriosis, the ectopic development of endometrial tissue, is, particularly in peritoneal endometriosis, believed to result from tubal reflux of menstrual tissue. The release of cytokines and growth factors by refluxed endometrial cells …

article 2002

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is markedly expressed in active and early-stage endometriotic lesions
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.87.2.8260

The establishment of a new vascular supply is essential for the survival of endometrial tissue and its development in ectopic locations. We have previously shown that ectopic endometrial cells release an important mitogenic activity for hum…
