CONTEXT: Progesterone resistance including progesterone receptor (PR) deficiency contributes to the pathophysiology of endometriosis; however, whether the PR expression levels in ovarian endometrioma (OE) correlate with the postoperative re…

PROBLEM: Inflammation and immune responses play crucial roles in the development of endometriosis. Although interleukin-9 (IL-9) has a pro-inflammatory function in chronic inflammatory diseases, its function in endometriosis remains unknown…
review
2019
BACKGROUND: It has been well established that endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Although the exact pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, it is known to be characterized by estrogen-dependent growth and maintenance of t…
