article 2014
Expression of Nodal, Cripto, SMAD3, Phosphorylated SMAD3, and SMAD4 in the Proliferative Endometrium of Women With Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719114549855
article 2013
Angiogenesis and Endometriosis
Obstetrics and gynecology international ·doi:10.1155/2013/859619

A comprehensive review was performed to survey the role of angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This is a multifactorial disease in which the development and maintenance of endometriotic implants depend on their invasive capac…

Activin A stimulates interleukin 8 and vascular endothelial growth factor release from cultured human endometrial stromal cells: possible implications for the pathogenesis of endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719111434542

BACKGROUND: Activin A is an endometrial secretory product involved in inflammation and angiogenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of activin A and its antagonist follistatin on interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and vascular endoth…

article 2012
Diagnostic value of serum activin A and follistatin levels in women with peritoneal, ovarian and deep infiltrating endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/des055

BACKGROUND: Activin A is a growth factor, produced by the endometrium, whose actions are modulated by the binding protein follistatin. Both proteins are detectable in the peripheral serum and their concentrations may be increased in women w…

New trends for the medical treatment of endometriosis
Expert opinion on investigational drugs ·doi:10.1517/13543784.2012.683783

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a benign sex hormone-dependent gynecological disease, characterized by the presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus; it affects 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infer…

Altered expression of activin, cripto, and follistatin in the endometrium of women with endometrioma
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.03.048

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression pattern of activin A, activin receptors, and activin modulators messenger RNA (mRNA) in the eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis at different phases of the menstrual cycle and to evaluate …

Urocortin 2 and urocortin 3 in endometriosis: evidence for a possible role in inflammatory response
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gar020

Urocortin 2 (Ucn 2) and urocortin 3 (Ucn 3) are neuropeptides expressed by human endometrium. This study evaluated (i) the expression of Ucn 2 and Ucn 3 mRNA in endometriotic lesions and in endometrium of women with endometriosis; (ii) the …
