A unique functional comparison of the major endometrial cell types from 44 control and endometriosis patients demonstrates not only a uterine origin of the disease, but also that endometrial to mesothelial cell gap junctions are required fo…

Endometriosis is a debilitating disease affecting 190 million women worldwide and the greatest single contributor to infertility. The most broadly accepted etiology is that uterine endometrial cells retrogradely enter the peritoneum during …

Abstract Endometriosis is an invasive disease, and a leading cause of pain, infertility and disability among women, with an incidence 10 fold that of cancer. A more complete understanding of disease pathogenesis is essential for the develop…

Intercellular interactions, including gap junction intercellular coupling (GJIC), have been implicated in many invasive processes (e.g. extravasation, metastasis and oocyte implantation). Yet the role of gap junctions in endometriosis, a ma…

Abstract The endometrium is the major target of oncogenesis in the uterus. Endometrial tissue undergoes several cycles of disintegration and repair during women's reproductive years. The involvement of repair mechanisms that include transfo…

The aim of this study was to investigate whether activin A has an effect on the attachment and/or invasion of endometrial cells in a modeled peritoneum in vitro. Cultured endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (EE…
