Effect of peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients on neuroblastoma cells in culture

Calcium‐binding protein expression in peritoneal endometriosis‐associated nerve fibres

“…In accordance with our results, Bersinger et al. demonstrated that neuroblastoma cells had a higher proliferation rate in the presence of peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis (Bersinger et al., ). In addition, the PC‐12 cells incubated with peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis showed a neurite outgrowth, whereas PC‐12 did not show a comparable outgrowth in the presence of peritoneal fluid from patients without endometriosis.…”
