The provided text indicates that the preprint titled "MicroRNA-20a mediates the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells in endometriosis via ERG/HLX/STAT4/perforin axis" has been withdrawn by the authors from Research Square. Consequently, no scientific findings, methods, or population details are available for summary as the manuscript is no longer publicly accessible or peer-reviewed. The metadata lists keywords such as endometriosis, NK cells, and perforin, but the actual research content is absent. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
