CD44s expression is reduced in endometriotic lesions compared to eutopic endometrium in women with endometriosis

International journal of gynecological pathology : official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists ·doi:10.1097/00004347-200104000-00005

Immunohistochemical expression of the standard form of CD44 (CD44s) was examined in archival formalin-fixed endometriotic and matching eutopic endometrial tissue obtained from 25 patients in proliferative (N = 16) and secretory (N = 9) stag…

Novel implications in the development of endometriosis: biphasic effect of macrophage activation on peritoneal tissue expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1998.tb00067.x

PROBLEM: Elevated levels of activated macrophages are associated with endometriosis, but their role in the etiology of the disease is uncertain. The current study was undertaken to examine whether activated macrophages could modulate perito…
