Differential Expression of MicroRNAs between Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrium in Ovarian Endometriosis

Table 3

Molecules directly involved in endometriosis and networks in which they appear. IPA analysis indicated that several networks constituted by the predicted targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs include molecules known to be involved in endometriosis.
