Endometrial pinopode formation and αvβ3 integrin expression were not significantly different in infertile women with endometriosis compared to infertile or fertile control groups.

This study evaluated endometrial receptivity by measuring pinopode formation and αvβ3 integrin expression in infertile women with stage I or II endometriosis compared with two control groups: infertile women with unexplained infertility and fertile women undergoing tubal sterilization. Using natural-cycle timing, each participant underwent two endometrial biopsies at postovulatory day +7 to +8 and again 4 days later within a single menstrual cycle. The authors found no statistically significant differences in αvβ3 integrin expression or pinopode formation between the endometriosis group and either control group. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it tests whether implantation-marker expression is impaired in infertile stage I–II endometriosis during the window of implantation.
