NLRC5 and ovarian endometriosis: Although our results are interesting, we are aware that our study comes up some limitations: Due to the limitations of obtaining surgical specimens, ectopic endometrial tissues were collected all from women diagnosed with ovarian endometriosis, and the underlying mechanism of how NLRC5 regulates autophagy is undefined; we should use more experiment methods and included more inflammatory biomarkers to detect the inflammation levels; no animal experiments have been conducted in our study.
