Abstract Endometriosis exhibits unique characteristics, such as fibrosis, resistance to apoptosis, and promotion of cell proliferation; however, its pathophysiology is not fully understood. Recurrence rates after treatment are high, the progression risk continues until menopause; hence, more effective therapy for endometriosis needed.
