Long non‐coding RNA, Epithelial mesenchymal transition, and Endometriosis

Long non‐coding RNA, Epithelial mesenchymal transition, and Endometriosis By Dr. Youngran Park

Endometriosis is an estrogen‐dependent inflammatory gynecologic disease and requires attention. However, an in‐depth understanding of the latent pathogenesis of endometriosis development and its new innovative therapeutics are urgently needed. Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) refers to the special biological process of epithelial…
