Perspectives of new therapies for endometriosis. Recent Pat Endocr Metab Immune Drug Discov. 2012 Sep;6(3):218-23 Authors: Garmendia JV, De Sanctis JB Abstract Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glandular epithelial and stromal cells growing in the extra-uterine environment. The disease affects: ovarian function, oocyte quality, embryo development and implantation, and uterine function resulting in infertility or spontaneous pregnancy loss. Even though the world's prevalence is above 10 %, an effective treatment has not yet been found. New pharmacological approaches have been designed and patented that could serve as future therapies for this disease. PMID: 22694252 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
