Tobacco smoking and risk of endometriosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BMJ open ·doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2014-006325

OBJECTIVE: Since conflicting results have been published on the role of tobacco smoking on the risk of endometriosis, we provide an up-to-date summary quantification of this potential association. DESIGN: We performed a PubMed/MEDLINE searc…

article 2012
Neuroimmunomodulatory Alterations in Non-Lesional Peritoneum Close to Peritoneal Endometriosis
Neuroimmunomodulation ·doi:10.1159/000342163

OBJECTIVES: An imbalance in the ratio of sensory to sympathetic nerve fibre (NF) density in peritoneal endometriotic lesions (pEL) has recently been demonstrated and leads to the assumption that this preponderance of the sensory pro-inflamm…

Immunohistochemical characterization of endometriosis-associated smooth muscle cells in human peritoneal endometriotic lesions
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der253

BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are common components of endometriotic lesions. SMC have been characterized previously in peritoneal, ovarian and deep infiltrating endometriotic lesions and adenomyosis. The aim of this retrospective s…
