Membrane proteins of the claudin superfamily are important components of cellular tight and adherens junctions. Although their exact function remains unclear, these proteins may play a role in tissue remodeling, a process which is associate…
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the expression of WNT7A in human eutopic and ectopic endometrium. DESIGN: Experimental study using real-time polymerase chain reaction, laser microdissection, in situ hybridization, and immunofluorescence. SETTI…
BACKGROUND: The metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes involved in tissue remodeling and cell migration. Endometrial tissue remodeling proceeds during the menstrual cycle and requires a temporary and spatially balance…

BACKGROUND: Uterine peristalsis sustains sperm transport and can be detected by hysterosalpingoscintigraphy (HSSG). This study is the first to be designed to investigate utero-tubal transport function by HSSG and uterine contractility by in…
ObjectiveOvarian cancer antigen CA 125 is used widely for diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation of ovarian cancer. Although the initial description of CA 125 was in 1981, its function is still unknown. In collagen gel system the invasivenes…
