A balancing act: RNA binding protein HuR/TTP axis in endometriosis patients

Abstract Endometriosis, a major reproductive pathology affecting 8–10% of women is characterized by chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction. Human antigen R (HuR) and Tristetraprolin (TTP) are RNA binding proteins that competitively bind to cytokines involved in inflammation including: tumor nec...
