Histology and histopathology ·doi:10.14670/hh-26.1083

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, 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…

article 2010

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 …

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…

·doi:10.5301/je.2009.1362

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…

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…

Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000111148

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…
