Combined inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor, but not inhibition of VEGF alone, effectively suppresses angiogenesis and vessel maturation in endometriotic lesions
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dei308

BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis represents the crucial step in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, because endometriotic lesions require neovascularization to establish, proliferate and invade inside the peritoneal cavity. To elucidate the role of …
