Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus. Recent data suggest a potential role for endometrial stem/progenitor cells in the development of endometriosi…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, chronic gynaecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Genetic studies indicate substant…
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women and remains associated with substantial diagnostic delays, heterogeneous clinical presentation, infertility, chronic p…
Conventional Insemination (CI) and Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are routinely used insemination methods in clinical Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) settings. However, the existing data on the developmental competence an…
Endometrium, a highly dynamic tissue, is known for its remarkable ability to regenerate, differentiate, and degenerate in a non-conception cycle and transform into a specialized tissue to nurture and protect the embryo in a conception cycle…
OBJECTIVE: To study clinical, surgical characteristics and the relationship between endometriosis lesion types and conception rate after surgery in infertile women with endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective, multicenter cohort of 204 women…
Recent data suggest that the DNA damage response (DDR) is altered in the eutopic endometrium (EE) of women with endometriosis and this probably ensues in response to higher DNA damage encountered by the EE in endometriosis. DDR operates in …
STUDY QUESTION: Is the DNA damage response (DDR) dysregulated in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Endometrial expression of genes involved in DDR is modulated in women with endometriosis, compared to tho…
We undertook the present study to investigate the echographic characteristics of the uterus and cervix of female bonnet monkeys ( Macaca radiata ) during the proliferative and secretory phases of the menstrual cycle. The cervix was tortuous…
BACKGROUND: Endometrium acquires structural and functional competence for embryo implantation only during the receptive phase of menstrual cycle in fertile women. Sizeable data are available to indicate that this ability is acquired by modu…
Proteomics, an interface of rapidly evolving advances in physics and biology, is rapidly developing and expanding its potential applications to molecular and cellular biology. Application of proteomics tools has contributed towards identifi…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism underlying the appearance of a 20-kd HSP70 fragment and its consequences in the ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Research institute and obstetrics …
OBJECTIVE: To examine proteins aberrantly expressed in the ectopic endometrium compared with eutopic endometrium from the same patient. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Research institute and an obstetrics and gynecology clinic (Natio…
