OBJECTIVE: To investigate serum microRNAs (miRNAs) in women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Women with (n = 24) and without (n = 24) endometriosis. INTERVENTION(S): Serum samples…
Bone marrow derived cells engraft to the uterine endometrium and contribute to endometriosis. The mechanism by which these cells are mobilized and directed to the endometrium has not been previously characterized. We demonstrate that human …
The mechanisms that lead to the altered uterine gene expression in women with endometriosis are poorly understood. Are these changes in gene expression mediated by proximity to endometriotic lesions or is endometriosis a systemic disease wh…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease found in approximately 10% of reproductive-age women. Gene expression analysis has been performed to explore alterations in gene expression associated with endometriosis; however, the underlyi…
