Abstract

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases that significantly reduce the life quality of affected women. Research results from the past decade clearly demonstrated that aberrant production of estrogen and cyclooxygenase-2-derived prostaglandin E2 play indispensable roles in the pathogenesis of this disease. However, the etiology of endometriosis remains obscure. Recent evidence reveals a new facet of endometriotic pathogenesis by showing that hypoxia induces the expression of many important downstream genes to regulate the implantation, survival, and maintenance of ectopic endometriotic lesions. These new findings shed lights on future investigations of delineating the etiology of endometriosis and designing new therapeutic strategy for endometriosis.

  • Hypoxic conditions alone can dramatically change the behavior of normal endometrial cells, manifesting in increased estrogen production and other abnormal phenotypes.

    “Remarkably, hypoxic conditions alone can dramatically change the behavior of endometrial cells that are otherwise “normal”, manifesting in increased estrogen production and other “abnormal” phenotypes [96].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
