My sister’s research (about 1/2 way down the page) is starting to be published!

Research has shown that the micro anatomy of the endometrium in sufferers is different to that of normal patients. Now researchers in Australia have used this as a starting point to try to identify proteins that are affected by the onset of endometriosis.

Sara ten Have and colleagues affiliated with the University of Sydney (Australia) have performed a proteomic study on the eutopic endometrium removed during routine surgery from six women diagnosed with endometriosis. They then compared the results with those from 12 women without the disease. All samples were collected during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle.
