Endometriosis is a chronic pelvic inflammatory process. Local inflammation is known to play a role in pain and infertility associated with the disease, and may be extensively involved in molecular and cellular processes leading to endometri…
Peritoneal endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by increased numbers of peritoneal macrophages and their secreted products. Inflammation plays a major role in pain and infertility associated with endometriosis, but …
Peritoneal, ovarian, and rectovaginal endometriosis are three different entities. Peritoneal endometriosis can be explained by the transplantation theory. Coelomic metaplasia of invaginated epithelial inclusions may be responsible for the d…
In this study, we developed an original and reproducible quantitative in vitro model of endometrial cell adhesion to peritoneal mesothelial cells in order to better assess the impact of pro-inflammatory cytokines on early-stage endometriosi…
Endometriosis is one of the most frequently encountered benign diseases in gynecology, being the cause of dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain and infertility in more than 35% of women of reproductive age. Decreased quality of life may result …
ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.DesignA literature search was conducted in PubMed to identify all relevant citations.Result(s)Our findings highlight the important role of NF-κB…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endometriosis is known to be an estrogen-dependent disease. However, only a few studies have analyzed the effect of estrogen treatment in mice xenotransplanted with human endometrium. The objective of this study was to adap…
PurposeEctopic endometrial tissue is biochemically and functionally distinct from eutopic endometrium, including differences in receptivity to steroids and invasive potential. For this reason, using ectopic endometrial tissue to induce endo…

Peritoneal endometriosis is a chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, characterized by increased numbers of peritoneal macrophages and their secreted products such as cytokines, growth and angiogenic factors in peritoneal fluid. Inflammation p…

Classic murine endometriosis models may be insufficient to evaluate the effect of therapeutic agents on endometriosis development, because the process of identification and measurement of induced lesions is often impeded, as implants are sm…
ObjectiveTo further investigate peritoneal iron disruption in endometriosis by studying iron storage in peritoneal macrophages of patients with endometriosis compared with controls.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingAcademic gynecology rese…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to induce endometriosis in female rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) for research purposes. METHODS: Three female monkeys from 4 to 4.5 years of age underwent three consecutive attempts at endometrio…
BACKGROUND: In vitro studies suggest that the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) is implicated in the transduction of proinflammatory signals in endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of…
Endometriosis is characterized by pelvic inflammation that shows an increased number of activated peritoneal macrophages and their secreted products such as cytokines, growth factors, and angiogenic factors. Our results show that activation…
Red (active), black and white endometriotic lesions are characteristic of peritoneal endometriosis. The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activates proinflammatory, proliferative and antiapoptotic genes in many cell ty…
