ENDOMETRIOSIS: Scientists Identify Possible Cause - telomeraseFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 9 Aug 2008 20:07:35 -0500 (CDT)
"Researchers discovered that an enzyme, called telomerase, is released by cells in the inner lining of the womb during the latter stages of the menstrual cycle in women who are affected by endometriosis. Telomerase is not commonly found in the cells that make up the body, but is uniquely found in the inner lining of the womb and in some special cells, such as sperm and egg cells. The enzyme is also found in cancer cells and is thought to be responsible for replicating DNA sequences during cell division in chromosomes. The research, published in Human Reproduction, will help scientists develop new techniques for diagnosing and treating the condition." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/117364.php Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors.htm UTERINE FIBROIDS INFO: http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/ http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/?page=articles/patient_articles
