Uterine natural killer cells (uNK) have been thought to play a key role in endometriosis and infertility. We investigated the expression of CD56, CD16 and NKp46 in endometrial tissues from 61 women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss …

Table S1. Output from bioinformatics analysis showing differential expression of genes encoding NK cell receptors and ligands in secretory phase endometrium from endometriosis patients when compared with the endometrium of control women wit…

Table S2. The differentially expressed genes in post ovulatory eutopic endometrium of baboons 6 months after induction of endometriosis (n = 4) compared with the same of control animals (n = 4) published in Additional file 3: Table S2, in A…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common condition associated with growth of endometrial-like tissue beyond the uterine cavity. Previous reports have suggested a role for uNK cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis postulating that survival…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterus. The disease affects approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age and presents with clinical symptoms of…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder that is associated with alterations in the immune system that contributes to its pathology as well as its associated infertility. MAIN FINDINGS: This brief report summarizes our finding…
