ObjectiveTo study how compressive forces influence fibroid and myometrial cells. Our work aimed to identify proteins and signaling pathways that are altered in fibroids in response to compressive forces.DesignLaboratory-based.SubjectsPatien…
Purpose of this Investigation: The primary aim of this pilot study was to determine if the increase in monocyte/macrophage number in the peritoneal cavity of women with endometriosis is due to differences in peritoneal fluid signaling conte…
Endometrial stromal and epithelial cell cross talk is known to influence many of the dynamic changes that occur during the menstrual cycle. We modified our previous model and embedded telomerase-immortalized human endometrial stromal cells …
