CD4+/CD8+ mucosa-associated invariant T cells foster the development of endometriosis: a pilot study
BACKGROUND: Immune dysregulation is one of the mechanisms to promote endometriosis (EMS). Various T cell subpopulations have been reported to play different roles in the development of EMS. The mucosa-associated invariant T cell (MAIT) is a…
