Analysis of clonality in human endometriotic cysts based on evaluation of X chromosome inactivation in archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue
Laboratory investigation; a journal of technical methods and pathology

The clonality of epithelial cells in ovarian endometriotic cysts was evaluated on the basis of a polymorphism of the X-linked phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK). The problems associated with clonality analysis of DNA samples extracted from …

Increased Mast Cell Density in Peritoneal Endometriosis Compared with Eutopic Endometrium with Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1998.tb00420.x

PROBLEM: Factors regulating fibrosis in peritoneal endometriosis are poorly understood. We hypothesized that mast cell proteases may play a role in the process of fibrosis in peritoneal endometriosis. As the first step in examining the poss…
