Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor/Tyrosine Kinase B Signaling Regulates Human Trophoblast Growth in an in Vivo Animal Model of Ectopic Pregnancy
14 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Although medical treatment of unruptured ectopic pregnancy using methotrexate has been established, development of more potent and safer medical treatment is needed due to limited indications and side effects of methotrexate.
