The role of survivin in the resistance of endometriotic stromal cells to drug-induced apoptosis
3 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Decreased susceptibility of endometrial tissue to apoptosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We investigate the role of survivin in the pathophysiology of endometriosis through the ability of ectopic and eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) to resist apoptosis. METHODS: Ectopic ESCs were obtained from ovarian chocolate cysts in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery (n = 22)....
