Synergistic RU486 and olaparib therapy enhances apoptosis in endometriosis by simultaneously targeting hormonal signalling and DNA repair

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone‐dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is effective for pain relief, its impact on lesion regression is limited, possibly due to apoptosis resistance and ...
