Suppression of endometriosis by miRNA-34a via inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-2: An alternative pathway to impede invasion.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cleave proteins of extracellular matrix thus facilitating cellular invasion and cancer progression. High MMP-2 activity is frequently reported in several diseases including endometriosis and cancer. Endometriosis, though …
Expression of E-CADHERIN and miR-200b in Different Forms of Endometriosis.
Background/Objectives: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is the process by which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal properties, which helps endometriotic cells migrate and invade. This study looks at the expression of E-CADHERIN, a …
