Endometriosis is a highly prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological inflammatory disease of reproductive-age women characterized by the presence of functional endometrial cells outside the uterus commonly leading to inflammation, pain and …
We have recently reported that adult male C57BL/6 mice exposed in utero to the environmental toxicant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) confer an increased risk of preterm birth (PTB) to unexposed females. Risk of PTB was coinciden…
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease where endometrium-like tissue forms lesions outside the uterus that result in chronic pelvic pain and infertility in 10-20% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease…
OBJECTIVE: To determine interactions between prostaglandin (PG) E(2) signaling and proliferation of endometriotic cells to increase our knowledge about PGE(2) signaling in the pathogenesis of endometriosis in humans. DESIGN: Immortalized h…
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We recently reported that inhibition of COX-2 decreased migration as well as invasion of human endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells. Results of the …
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease affects up to 20% of reproductive age women characterized by the presence of functional endometrial glandular epithelium and stroma outside the uterine cavity that results in chronic pelvic pain and i…
Endometriosis is a benign chronic gynecological disease of reproductive-age women characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissues outside the uterine cavity. It is an estrogen-dependent disease. Current treatment modalities …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a mixed population of immortalized human endometriosis epithelial and stromal cells is able to induce peritoneal endometriosis in nude mice. DESIGN: Prospective experimental study. Human immortalized endomet…
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease characterized by the presence of functional endometrial glandular epithelium and stroma outside the uterine cavity that affects up to 20% of women of child-bearing age. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a rat…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether immortalized endometriotic cells can be used as potential models to unravel pathophysiology/pathogenesis of endometriosis in humans. DESIGN: In vitro study. Human immortalized endometriotic epithelial and st…
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease affects up to 20% of reproductive age women characterized by the presence of functional endometrial glandular epithelium and stroma out side the uterine cavity. The pathophysiology of endometriosis re…
