Search for: [Abstract = "o hypoxia, universal for the whole human body. The variety of heterocellular eontaets between telocytes and surrounding eells\/anatomical structures in uterine fibroids allows us to Focus our attention on its importance. Each leiomyoma is aecompanied by hypoxia process, exceeded production of extracellular matrix and formation of \"vascular capsule\". Concluding, the loca\! declining of telocytes in fibroids also reflects its sensitivity to hypoxia and indirect involvement in basie processes leading to fibrosis. In addition, the reduced density of uterine telocytes eorrelates with an elevated number ofNOS\-positive neurons. Uterine telocytes are present in all parts of the human uterus, close to blood vessels, nerves, between smooth muscle cells and also in the capsule of the fibroid. Connection points in the pathophysiology of uterine fibroid and properties of telocytes allow us to underline the importanee of telocytes in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids."]
