Long-term pituitary down-regulation pretreatment for endometriosis - chronicles of guidelines and recommendations
Reproductive biomedicine online ·doi:10.1016/j.rbmo.2022.08.095

It was suggested in the 1980s that long-term pituitary down-regulation by a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist, termed the ultra-long protocol, inducing a hypo-oestrogenic state, might improve reproductive outcomes in women with endome…

Dendritic cells augment choroidal neovascularization
Investigative ophthalmology & visual science ·doi:10.1167/iovs.07-1640

PURPOSE: Dendritic cells (DCs) are innate immune cells that have recently been shown to support angiogenesis in tumors, endometriosis, and lymph nodes. A major cause of legal blindness is wet age-related macular degeneration (wet ARMD), whe…

Dendritic cells support angiogenesis and promote lesion growth in a murine model of endometriosis
FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology ·doi:10.1096/fj.07-9034com

Endometriosis affects 10-15% of women and is associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Angiogenesis plays an essential role in its pathogenesis. Dendritic cells (DCs) were recently implicated in supporting tumor angiogenesis. As both tum…
