Cellular and molecular basis for endometriosis-associated infertility
Cell and tissue research ·doi:10.1007/s00441-011-1309-0

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glandular epithelial and stromal cells growing in the extra-uterine environment. The disease afflicts 10%-15% of menstruating women causing debilitating p…

Neutralizing TIMP1 restores fecundity in a rat model of endometriosis and treating control rats with TIMP1 causes anomalies in ovarian function and embryo development
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.109.083287

Human and rat endometriotic lesions synthesize and secrete tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1). More TIMP1 localizes in the ovarian theca in an established rat model for endometriosis (Endo) when compared to surgical controls (S…
