abstract  background: despite the long-standing association of macrophage migration inhibitory  factor (mif) with delayed-type hypersensitivity response, the potential role  of mif in chronic allograft nephropathy is unknown. the association between upregulation of mif expression, macrophage and t cell infiltration and the severity of  chronic allograft nephropathy suggests that mif may be an i...

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by accumulated active macrophages in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. MIF is involved in pathophysiological events of endometriosis, such as angiogenesis and cell proliferation. MIF that stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, leads to over-expression of local estradiol synthesis in endometrio...

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by active macrophages accumulated in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. It involves in pathophysiological events of endometriosis such as angiogenesis, cell proliferation and it can stimulate the synthesis of PGE2 that are necessary for survival and establishment of ectopic endometriosis t...
