Increased expression of p21-activated kinase 4 in adenomyosis and its regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in endometrial cells
This study investigated the role of p21-activated kinase 4 in adenomyosis, finding its increased expression in affected tissues and its regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in endometrial cells.
