Understanding Endometriosis Study

• Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside of the uterus.

• The condition is most common in women of reproductive age, and can cause chronic pain and infertility.

• A new study has used a new technology to create a detailed profile of the many different types of cells that contribute to endometriosis.

• This profile can be used to improve the options for treatment for millions of women with the condition.

• The study used data from 400,000 individual cells from only 21 women who had endometriosis.

• This database will allow researchers to better understand the origins, course, and possible therapeutic targets for treatment of the condition.

• Currently, treatment for endometriosis is limited to using hormones or surgery to remove the tissue.

• The new database could lead to more effective treatments that are tailored to each individual.
