Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign, but potential metastatic, gynecological disease. Our current study aims to examine whether all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) inhibits the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometriotic stromal stem cells, as well as to explore the mechanisms involved, especially the role of IL-6 played in.
