BACKGROUND: Accumulated evidence reveals that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was overexpressed in eutopic endometrium of endometriosis, which may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, few studies have been performed …
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the expression of T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet) and GATA binding protein 3 (GATA-3) in the eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis. Endometrial tissues were collected from 20…
BACKGROUND: Accumulated evidence reveals that abnormally expressed genes in eutopic endometrium of endometriosis play a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. AIMS: Identification of endometriosis-related genes for further rev…
The aquaglyceroporin aquaporin 7 (AQP7) is dynamically expressed in mouse uteri undergoing decidualization after implantation. The expansion of AQP7 during uterine decidualization is associated with elevated uterine glycerol accumulation an…
