Epigenetics of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1007/s43032-020-00226-2

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease. Increased estrogen activity and progesterone resistance are the main hormonal substrate of this disease and are associated with inflammatory response and debilitatin…

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors are dysregulated in endometriosis: possible implication in transforming growth factor β–induced fibrosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2020.08.012

ObjectiveTo study the molecular mechanisms involved in the appearance of the fibrotic trait in endometriosis by investigating whether the signaling pathway of the bioactive sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) was altered in endometri…
