Adenomyosis in infertile women: prevalence and the role of 3D ultrasound as a marker of severity of the disease
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-016-0185-6

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is linked to infertility, but the mechanisms behind this relationship are not clearly established. Similarly, the impact of adenomyosis on ART outcome is not fully understood. Our main objective was to use ultrasound…

review 2006
Long-term pituitary down-regulation before in vitro fertilization (IVF) for women with endometriosis
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd004635.pub2

BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis who are treated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have a lower pregnancy rate compared to women with tubal factor infertility. It has been suggested that the ad…

Medical treatment of endometriosis.
Minerva ginecologica

The medical treatment of endometriosis is a critical aspect of the therapeutic approach to this disease. This review will present an overview of current literature about the medical treatment of endometriosis, without referring to the surgi…

review 2001
Endometrial Quality in Infertile Women with Endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2001.tb03796.x

Several analyses in our infertility (IVF) and oocyte donation programs were carried out to gain clinical knowledge of the factors involved in the etiology of endometriosis-associated infertility. We first compared the IVF outcomes in women …

article 2001
Endometrial receptivity in terms of pinopode expression is not impaired in women with endometriosis in artificially prepared cycles
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(01)01774-5

Interleukin-8 expression in endometrial stromal cells is regulated by integrin-dependent cell adhesion
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/5.12.1135

Concentrations of interleukin (IL)-8, a potent chemotactic factor produced by many cell types, are elevated in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. We investigated whether endometrial stromal cell (ESC) adhesion induces the exp…

article 1999
Interleukin-8 stimulates the adhesion of endometrial stromal cells to fibronectin
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(99)00223-x
review 1999
Is the endometrium or oocyte/embryo affected in endometriosis?
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/14.suppl_2.77

One of the most puzzling problems of endometriosis is determining which mechanisms link this spectrum of conditions to infertility. There is conflicting evidence about the effect of endometriosis on the endometrium and on oocyte/embryo qual…

article 1999
Macrophage derived growth factors m odulate Fas ligand expression in cultured endometrial stromal cells: a role in endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/5.7.642

Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) interactions play a significant role in the immune privilege status of certain cell populations, and several cytokines and growth factors can modulate their expression. When a FasL-expressing cell binds a Fas-bearing i…

Regulation of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 expression in human endometrial stromal cells by integrin-dependent cell adhesion
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod61.2.548

Shed menstrual endometrium is viable and has the ability to implant and grow in women, who eventually develop endometriosis. Many of the cell-to-cell or cell-to-extracellular matrix (ECM) connections are mediated by integrins. Monocyte chem…
