Endometriotic implants require neovascularization for establishment and maintenance, driven by interactions between ectopic endometrium and peritoneal tissue.

Abstract

The development of new blood vessels represents a crucial step during the establishment of endometriosis because endometriotic implants require neovascularization to guarantee oxygen and essential nutrient supply (Groothuis et al., 2005; McLaren, 2000). The interaction between the ectopic endometrium and the peritoneal tissue is a prerequisite for the induction of angiogenesis and the maintenance of endometriosis
