Pelvic pain in women with endometriosis is attributed to neuroinflammation. Researchers investigated biochemical mediators of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain to provide a foundation to identify new drugs to improve symptoms and quality of life. They postulated that novel therapeutic targets for pelvic pain in endometriosis are regulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) via the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. IL-1β has been a popular focus of translational research in the field of endometriosis … [read more]
