Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are physiologically released in response to pathogens, serving as a defense mechanism. However, excessive NET production has been implicated in various pathological conditions, including diseases of the…

UNLABELLED: Endometriosis is an inflammatory estrogen-dependent gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. An important role in the pathogenesis of this disease is played by disorde…

Angiogenesis is considered to be one of the key stages in the development of endometriosis. Recent studies indicate that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their receptors (BMPR) may play an important role in the angiogenesis process. I…
