Article Commentary: De Materia Medica versus Codex Alimentarius for the Reinforcement of the Gynecologic Immune System: The Case of Endometriosis
Clinical medicine insights. Women's health ·doi:10.4137/cmwh.s11214

Since the first Pharmacopoeia under the title "De Materia Medica," the importance of the utilization of plants and herbs has been an invaluable medicinal tool successfully employed for strengthening the immune system for combating a number …

MINI-REVIEW Endometriosis and infertility: A multi-cytokine imbalance versus ovulation, fertilization and early embryo development

Endometriosis is tightly linked to infertility which is manifested at very early or more advanced stages of the gestational cycle. Alteration on the production of a great number of cytokines/growth factors can be accused for problems on ovu…

Properties of the Mesenchymal Endometriotic Stem Cell in the Context of the Immune System and Analysis of its Role in Endometriosis
·doi:10.2174/2210296511202020103

Recent studies of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have revealed a number of properties that, if managed appropriately, may positively assist a large number of reparative or regenerative cellular processes. Their ability to produce fact…

Can Incapacitation of the Mesenchymal Endometriotic Stem Cell via the Fortification of the Immune System Lead to the Eradication of Endometriosis?
·doi:10.5301/je.2011.8308

This paper attempts to explain the immunologic nature of endometriosis from the stage of the endometriotic mesenchymal non-hematopoietic stem cell up to the inability of the immune system to intercept it for protecting the organism. Thus, t…

Premature immunosenescence impairs immune surveillance allowing the endometriotic stemcell to migrate: The cytokine profile as a common denominator
·doi:10.5301/je.2010.5518

While endometriosis, one of the most common reasons for infertility, remains a multifactorial condition and its exact cause highly speculative, there are data pointing to novel pathways of disease initiation which involve a stem cell and it…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is defined as an inflammatory condition of the female reproductive tract, a state often associated with infertility and miscarriage. Many exogenously administered factors (treatments) control the disease via as yet…
