Pathogenesis of endometriosis — Current research
Human fertility (Cambridge, England) ·doi:10.1080/1464770312331368973

Proliferative, secretory and menstrual endometrial cells of both the stroma and epithelium adhere to intact peritoneal mesothelium and mesothelial monolayers. Endometrial attachment to the mesothelium appears to occur rapidly (within 1 h) a…
