The extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 1/2 triggers angiogenesis in human ectopic endometrial implants by inducing angioblast differentiation and proliferation
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12760

PROBLEM: The role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2-mediated angiogenesis during endometriotic nidation is unknown. We posit that ERK1/2-induced angioblast differentiation and proliferation promotes ectopic endometrial angio…

Extracellularly Signal-Regulated Kinase Activity in the Human Endometrium: Possible Roles in the Pathogenesis of Endometriosis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2007-2051

CONTEXT: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, causing pelvic pain and infertility in 10% of reproductive-aged women. It is unclear why ectopic endo…

Endometriosis and Infertility
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1434.007

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. A leading cause of infertility, endometriosis has a prevalence of 0.5-5% in fertile and 25-40% in infertile women. …
