Welche Rolle spielen die Myofibroblasten und TGFß1 an der Entwicklung der peritonealen Endometriose?
This study investigated the role of myofibroblasts and TGF-beta1 in the pathogenesis of peritoneal endometriosis, suggesting they influence epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and potentially pain.

This study investigated the role of myofibroblasts and TGFß1 in peritoneal endometriosis by analyzing tissue and fluid from 86 premenopausal women. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that myofibroblasts near lesions expressed high levels of calponin, while peripheral areas showed increased collagen I, indicating distinct functional zones within the lesions. In vitro experiments demonstrated that peritoneal fluid from patients with endometriosis stimulated fibroblast proliferation, whereas TGFß1 inhibited epithelial cell growth, suggesting a complex interplay between cellular transformation and lesion development. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically examining the pathogenic mechanisms involving myofibroblast differentiation and TGFß signaling in peritoneal lesions.
