Transforming growth factor-betas (TGF-βs) are elevated during menstruation and are involved in endometriosis. Similarly, matrix metalloproteinases like MMP-2 are also highly expressed in patients with endometriosis. Expression of gelatinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, is increased by TGF-βs. TGF- βs bind and activate receptor-mediated Smad proteins to mediate gene expression, however, also non-Smad signaling pathways participate in signal transduction of the TGF-βs. In this study, we found that of MMP-2 and MMP-9 is higher in stromal cells especially in endometriotic cells compared to epithelial cells. Treatment of endometrial and endometriotic stromal and epithelial cells with TGF-β1 or TGF-β2 decreased cell numbers, induced …

Garment dyeing has been practiced for many years, both commercially and as a home procedure. Recently, interest in this technique has increased since it makes possible to give rapidest response to consumer demand, reduces lead times and inventory. To establish a profitable garment dyeing plant, all manufacturing steps must be carefully controlled. In this paper, we have tried to give an idea about the process of using different types of dyes in garments dyeing and their fastness properties.
