Uterine natural killer cell progenitor populations predict successful implantation in women with endometriosis‐associated infertility
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12817

PROBLEM: Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells play a critical role early in gestation. As we previously identified altered uNK cell development in endometriosis-associated infertility, we herein sought to characterize natural killer (NK) cell…

Increased uNK Progenitor Cells in Women With Endometriosis and Infertility are Associated With Low Levels of Endometrial Stem Cell Factor
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12486

PROBLEM: Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells play a significant role in successful human pregnancy. Having previously demonstrated uNK cell progenitors in human endometrium, we hypothesized that abnormal uNK cell maturation contributes to in…

Natural Killer Cells: Key Players in Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12408

Endometriosis affects more than 10% of women, causing significant pain and morbidity. It is also a significant cause of infertility. The aetiology of the disease remains an enigma, and the mechanisms responsible for the associated infertili…
