Comprehensive study of angiogenic factors in women with endometriosis compared to women without endometriosis
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2016.07.500

ObjectiveEndometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease, affecting women during their reproductive years. Angiogenesis represents a crucial step in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, because endometriotic lesions require neovascularizatio…

Enhanced expression of the stemness-related factors OCT4, SOX15 and TWIST1 in ectopic endometrium of endometriosis patients
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-016-0215-4

BACKGROUND: Current evidence suggests that endometrial-derived stem cells, spilled in the peritoneal cavity via retrograde menstruation, are key players in the establishment of endometriotic lesions. The aim of this study was to determine t…

Enhanced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and upregulated MYC in ectopic lesions contribute independently to endometriosis
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-015-0063-7

BACKGROUND: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process in which epithelial cells lose polarity and cell-to-cell contacts and acquire the migratory and invasive abilities of mesenchymal cells. These abilities are thought to be p…
