HORMONAL AND MECHANICAL CUES ON DYNAMIC CELLULAR PROCESSES IN ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory and fibrotic condition in 1 in 10 women characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. Endometriotic tissues attach to the peritoneal mesothelium lining the pelvic cavity to establish harmful lesions and implants in ectopic …
