Calcium‐binding protein expression in peritoneal endometriosis‐associated nerve fibres
European journal of pain (London, England) ·doi:10.1002/j.1532-2149.2013.00323.x

BACKGROUND: Recent studies demonstrated the potential involvement of nerve fibres in the chronic inflammatory process of endometriosis. We aimed to characterize nerve fibres in the proximal and distal areas of the peritoneal endometriotic l…

article 2013
Evidence of neurotrophic events due to peritoneal endometriotic lesions
Cytokine ·doi:10.1016/j.cyto.2013.03.003

To investigate the neurotrophic properties of endometriosis, as well as the involvement of neurotrophic factors in the development of chronic pelvic pain in patients with endometriosis, we performed a prospective clinical study. The presenc…

Remodeling of estrogen-dependent sympathetic nerve fibers seems to be disturbed in adenomyosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2013.05.013

OBJECTIVE: To investigate neuronal remodeling processes in the uterine innervation, particularly a remodeling of sympathetic nerve fibers, as well as the role of estrogen in this modulation in adenomyosis. DESIGN: Retrospective case-contro…

article 2012
Eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis does not exhibit neurotrophic properties
Journal of neuroimmunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jneuroim.2012.04.020

The role of neurotrophins in eutopic endometrium from endometriosis-patients was investigated in a prospective study using immunofluorescence-staining, Western blot and a neuronal growth assay. The nerve growth factor is expressed in primar…

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…

article 2012
Neurotrophin Expression Is Not Affected in Uteri of Women with Adenomyosis
Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN ·doi:10.1007/s12031-012-9757-x

To investigate the involvement of neurotrophins and nerve fibres in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis, we performed a retrospective, clinical study. Hysterectomy specimens from 40 patients with histologically proven adenomyosis and from 20 pa…

article 2011
Imbalance between sympathetic and sensory innervation in peritoneal endometriosis
Brain, behavior, and immunity ·doi:10.1016/j.bbi.2011.08.004

To investigate possible mechanisms of pain pathophysiology in patients with peritoneal endometriosis, a clinical study on sensory and sympathetic nerve fibre sprouting in endometriosis was performed. Peritoneal lesions (n=40) and healthy pe…

article 2011
Influence of Nerve Growth Factor in Endometriosis-Associated Symptoms
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719111410711

To investigate the role of the nerve growth factor (NGF) in the development of dysmenorrhea/pelvic pain in patients with endometriosis, we performed a prospective, clinical, blind study. Peritoneal fluids (PFs) were obtained from patients w…

article 2010
Overexpression of nerve growth factor in peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis may promote neurite outgrowth in endometriotic lesions
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.10.023

To investigate the role of the nerve growth factor (NGF) in the endometriosis-associated innervation in the development of endometriosis-associated symptoms, 41 peritoneal fluid samples (PF) from patients with surgically and histologically …
