Endometrial stromal cells from women with endometriosis reveal peculiar migratory behavior in response to ovarian steroids
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.10.014

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate differences in endometrial stromal cell (ESC) migration between patients with and without endometriosis. DESIGN: Differences in ESC migration, cellular morphology, and cytoskeletal-actin dynamics were evaluated in re…

Genetics of endometriosis: current status and prospects
Frontiers in bioscience : a journal and virtual library ·doi:10.2741/2308

Family and twin studies have shown that heritability accounts for endometriosis development to an extent similar to other complex genetic diseases. Both linkage analysis and association studies have been performed to identify genetic determ…

The vascular endothelial growth factor +405G>C polymorphism in endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dem341

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent stimulus of angiogenesis potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between the single …

Ovarian recovery after laparoscopic enucleation of ovarian cysts: insights from echographic short-term postsurgical follow-up
Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.jmig.2005.06.006

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate damage to ovarian reserve following laparoscopic cystectomy of benign ovarian cysts. DESIGN: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING: Tertiary gynecologic endoscopic unit at a univ…

article 2003
Association rate between deep peritoneal endometriosis and other forms of the disease: pathogenetic implications
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deg513

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested recently that deep endometriosis and the other forms of the disease do not share a common pathogenetic mechanism. In this study, we hypothesize that, if this is true, deep peritoneal endometriosis and the o…
