Cyclooxygenase 2 overexpression suppresses Smad3 and augments ERK1/2 signaling activated by TGFβ1 in endometrial stromal cells: a novel insight into endometriosis pathogenesis.
To investigate the underlying mechanisms driving the opposing effects of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1) on the proliferation of control (CESCs) and ectopic (EESCs) endometrial stromal cells.
Multiple lesion inductions intensify central sensitization driven by neuroinflammation in a mouse model of endometriosis.
Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Growing evidence indicates that endometriotic lesions are not the sole source of pain. Instead, central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction …
The Effect of Osteopathic Visceral Manipulation on Quality of Life and Postural Stability in Women with Endometriosis and Women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Non-Controlled Before-After Clinical Study.
Background: Visceral manipulation is a soft tissue manual work technique that originates from and is classified within the Osteopathic Manipulative Technique (OMT), focusing on the fascial tissue mobilisation of the …
FAP+ activated fibroblasts are detectable in the microenvironment of endometriosis and correlate with stroma composition and infiltrating CD8+ and CD68+ cells.
Do activated fibroblasts expressing fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) - which is traceable in positron emission topography/computed topography (PET/CT) - play a role in the microenvironment of endometriosis?
