Endometriosis is a female disease which is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and is dependent on estrogen for its survival in these ectopic locations. Expression of the ribosomal protein large P1 (RPLP1) is associated wi…
Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition in which endometrial tissue grows in ectopic locations. Survival and growth of these ectopic lesions is associated with pain and infertility. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been postulated to play a role …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease common among women of reproductive age characterized by pain, anxiety and infertility. Defined as the growth of endometrial tissue in ectopic locations, endometriosis remains an enigmatic disease for w…
CD74 is the primary receptor for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Although expression of MIF has been described in endometriotic lesions, the cellular localization and function of the MIF receptor, CD74, are poorly understood. …
Background: The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system is a group of enzymes, function to modulate the tissue structure and degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM), a process required in cellular repair, proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogen…
Endometriosis is a disease common in women of reproductive age, characterized by pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its prevalence, the factors and mechanisms which contribute to the development and survival of ectopic lesions remain unce…
