BACKGROUND: To study endometrial receptivity in terms of osteopontin (OPN) and αvβ3 integrin expression and co-expression in infertile women with early stages of endometriosis. METHODS: We investigated the immunohistochemical expression an…
PURPOSE: To investigate endometrial receptivity in terms of pinopode formation and alphavbeta3 integrin expression in infertile women with endometriosis during natural cycles. METHODS: We investigated the expression of alphavbeta3 integrin…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to compare ovarian response and oocyte and embryo yields in women undergoing ovulation induction for IVF/ICSI using recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) alone or in combination with re…
PURPOSE: Our purpose was to determine prospectively, using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, whether the ovarian reserve test with hMG could improve the predictive value of a woman's age and basal levels of follicle stimulat…
Integrins have recently been proposed as having a major role in endometrial receptivity. Different patterns of integrin expression have been described during the normal endometrial cycle, and the co-expression of several integrins, mainly a…
