Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2-Ethyl-5-Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine-Fibroid-Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell-Derived 3D Organoids.

This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells …

Influence of Oxidative Stress-Mediated Inflammation on the Pathogenesis of Reproductive Disorders: Exploring the Benefits of Carnosine for Prevention and Treatment of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic pathological condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity and is frequently associated with severe pain, persistent inflammation, and fibrosis within the …

Copper-Targeted Therapy in Experimental Endometriosis: Effects of Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate on Markers of the Interconnected Processes of Inflammation, Innervation, and Fibrogenesis.

Endometriosis (EDT) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, pelvic pain, and infertility. Current therapies show limited long-term efficacy and adverse effects, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic …

Hormonal treatment in endometriosis fails to prevent IL-6 increase and endometrium fibrosis but regulates levels of CYP17A, VEGF, and NFkB.

Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue. This study aims to elucidate the effect of hormonal treatment in human endometriosis inflammation, angiogenesis and …

Immunohistochemical Detection of the Mechano-Gated Piezo Channels in the Normal Endometrium and in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an inflammatory estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. This is due to the invasion of different organs by endometrial tissue that causes inflammation, angiogenesis, and …

Pro-inflammatory cytokines disrupt in vitro preantral follicle development by targeting granulosa and theca cell functions.

Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …

Global RNA expression analysis of patient samples identified potential diagnostic biomarkers specific for peritoneal, ovarian and deep endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic and debilitating gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide (190 million), often leading to chronic pain, infertility, and considerable economic burden. Despite …

The role of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in TGF-β1-induced fibroblast-myofibroblast transition during endometriosis fibrosis.

Fibrosis is a defining feature of endometriosis (EMS). Our previous single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed myofibroblasts (MFBs) as the predominant cells in ectopic endometrium (ECE), mainly derived from fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition …
