Extracellular matrix metalloproteinases in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis: a systematic review and critical appraisal
Despite extensive research in the field, the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis remains an unresolved enigma. The possible role of different enzymes of the extracellular matrix, in particular the role of the matrix metalloproteases or metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the etiopathogenesis and the mechanis...
