Over 75% of failed pregnancies involve implantation defects. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is an adaptor protein involved in signal transduction and cell communication. Here we show that the …
In women with endometriosis, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) or chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is elevated in serum, peritoneal fluid, and endometriotic lesions, though its exact role in …
