by Elsevier Diagram of neuroinflammation in endometriosis. Researchers propose that IL-1β activates IL-1 type 1 membrane receptor (IL-1R1) in endometrial stromal cells, predominantly via the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, to promote neurotrophin and neurotrophin receptor (NTR) production and signaling, which in turn activate neurogenesis and pain. Parallel pathways promote IL-6 production and IL-1β autoregulation, potentially...
