Scientists think they may have worked out why some women get endometriosis - a common condition where tissue similar to the womb lining starts growing elsewhere in the female body. Endometriosis occurs in about 15% of women, and it can affect their chances of getting pregnant.
Now scientists at Liverpool University have identified an enzyme called telomerase that they believe may be responsible. They hope that this will enable them to diagnose and treat endometriosis more effectively. You can read more details about the research, and the enzyme, at www.liv.ac.uk
