Modern ideas on the role of macrophages and neutrophils in the development of endometriosis

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases. Methods of diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis are imperfect, which is probably due to insufficient knowledge of the pathogenesis of this disease. Recently, research efforts have focused on the study of immunoinflammatory mechanisms in the development and progression of endometriosis. Understanding the pathogenetic mechanisms of endometriosis is important for the discovery of new laboratory biomarkers for early diagnosis and new targets for therapeutic effects. This article summarizes information on the role of some of the main cells of the immune system (macrophages and neutrophils) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
